Perry Como - Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics






(Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset...)

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older
When did they?

When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as they gaze

Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

(Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset...)

Perry Como Sunrise, Sunset Comments
  1. a.... m....

    This song 😍❤️ came here bcz of movie Beautiful boy ❤️

  2. J.... T....

    Perry included this song in his 1968 album 'Look to your Heart"which song writer Sammy Cahn said was the best pop album he'd ever heard! I agree. The two albums that preceded it:" Lightly Latin" and " In Italy" were also excellent.

  3. L.... &....

    This song reminds me of my childhood at my Grandparents house. They are Italian/Sicilian so all these songs were played on my moms and Dads side. I also heard it from movie Beautiful Boy.

  4. A.... A....

    Beautiful boy bring me here!

  5. P.... T....

    hello from Switzerland,don't listen this song when you're feeling blue. Tears in my eyes, tears in my Soul and heart ..... but I love this song he tells the truth. Sincerely Peter Tschirky

  6. T.... ....

    the original version of this song, written for the musical "Fiddler on the Roof" is sung during the main characters daughters wedding. I do not know the context of how it is used in beautiful boy but I hope it captures the beautiful truth to this piece

    T.... ....

    True story of a father coping with his eldest son's escalating & hitherto unrecognised drug addiction, he is reflecting upon the true joy his son brought to him, his first wife and to those he met. Spinning out of control he goes on long 'runs' under the influence and with characters unknown. There is great love for the boy, undying love but he's battered as many loved ones are by the hurts desperate people unfeelingly inflict in single minded pursuit of cash or plunders that can be cashed or traded. So in context here the song serves to create context to the pain involved in committing to trying to support a return to the bosom of the family. There are two books - Dad's perspective is largely shown in his book Beautiful Boy the film named after it. The true and much much tougher perspective comes from the boy himself in Tweak! Quite unforgettable. 👍

  7. S.... A....

    Who else is here after The Beautiful Boy?

    S.... A....

    Amazing and emotional song. I've seen the movie 3 times so far and every time i watch it i discover something new .

  8. D.... T....

    #BeautifulBoy brought me here! Magical few moments.

  9. J.... P....

    This song kills me!!! My daughter went through the same as beatiful boy...However she died Dec 23rd 2017. But i am 58 and my parents loved Perry Como. I should have never had children

    J.... P....

    Dang- you regretted it that much?

    J.... P....

    @TingTing Lin i miss her more than life itself!! She bought the book and then i saw the movie when it came out and she was just like his son.

    J.... P....

    What do you mean you should have never had children? Were you not prepared? I am sorry about your story. I hope you are doing well. I have read Beautiful Boy and Tweak, they’re very painful to read at times, but still beautiful life stories. Keep on fighting!

    J.... P....

    @Smilthy i was 26 in 1986 when i had my first. She was the light of my life. In 1991 i had my second daughter. She was tiny and had surgery the next day and i almost lost her. She is now 27 and beautiful inside out. Unfortunately i did lose my oldest at 30 and that light is gone now. I think that reference i made was due to the fact that i was told i could never have children when i was 17 after having surgery for cancer. Unfortunately i should had never posted that. It is what it is though.

  10. M.... G....

    15 year old and hanging here because this is music.

  11. g.... g....

    I really love this song, beautiful, melancholy, almost evangelical, ethereal, almost crying my eyes out, perry como is a deity

  12. H.... M....

    Who’s here from beautiful boy?

    H.... M....

    I'm here because I lost my sweet daughterlast December 23rd from a drugoverdose and i found her. She bought the book and read it and it was so sad!!

    H.... M....

    I saw the movie as well!! This Perry Como song i remember back in the early 60s I was only 6 yrs old my parents music

  13. P.... W....

    This song is actually from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. I never heard this version until watching My Beautiful Boy. It is a very haunting version and perfect for that part of the movie.

  14. a.... a....

    Toch melody

  15. a.... ....

    Always liked the smooth Perry Como

  16. r.... k....

    This is an awesome song..really touches my heart

  17. c.... j....

    Perry Como's version is SO EERIE! I shutter at the sound of the backing vocals that sound so ethereal and ghostly. The song SCARES you about the absolute nature of TIME!!!! Its haunting and so sobering!

  18. D.... D....

    Heard this in “beautiful boy”... brought me here... this song is eerily beautiful but sad...

    D.... D....

  20. R.... H....

    You may forget the movie, Beautiful Boy, but the song still lingers. Forever

    R.... H....

    I would never forget the movie!! I read the book first 3 yrs before the movie came out. I wish my daughter had lived long enough to see the movie. She bought me the book before she went into rehab. True story from his father

    R.... H....

    I could never forget such a brilliant movie .this song is just amazing and emotional

  21. A.... G....

    Such a touching emotional music 😢🦋💟

    Sunrise, Sunset

    (Sunrise sunset, Sunrise sunset)
    Is this the little girl I carried?
    Is this the little boy at play?
    I dont remember growing older
    When did they?

    When did she get to be a beauty?
    When did he grow to be so tall?
    Was'nt it yesterday that they were small?

    Sunrise sunset, Sunrise sunset
    Swiftly flow the days
    Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
    Blossoming even as they gaze

    Sunrise sunset, Sunrise sunset
    Swiftly fly the years
    One season following another
    Laden with happiness and tears

    One season following another
    Laden with happiness and tears

    (Sunrise sunset, Sunrise sunset)

  23. P.... C....

    Thats the nice part of movies, you discover or (remember) old songs, old but beautiful songs!!!!! I dance with this song when I was 17 old, imagine listen again at 77?

    P.... C....

    Beautiful!! I was 6 yrs old and i rembered this song . I read the book beautiful boy sunce my daughter bought it for me to admit her addiction to me. She was 30 when she passed. When the movie came out I almost died when i heard this beautiful Perry Como song!!I died with my sweetbeautiful daughter Jessica Amber that day.. I am merely an empty shell these days

  24. H.... S....

    love...

  25. R.... T....

    They used this Beautiful Boy. it's the movies best part

    R.... T....

    I'm watching it right now and had to save this sing before I forget. This movie really hits home and was hard to watch, as I have struggled with addiction myself. And from all the hurt I've put my family through.

    R.... T....

    Wish you all best dear. U will overcome that.

    R.... T....

    @baharak alamdari thank you very much. I'm going on about 2 years off of stimulants and heroin. Working on weaning off of methadone maintenance therapy. Just ready to be done with it all. My heart goes out to all the all the families and the addicts themselves. I've met so many amazing people in treatment, addicts are just people who are hurting. Every one of them were once vibrant cheerful children and something came along and scared that kid away.

    R.... T....

    That's how I got here...thought it was Frankie at first. Song almost brings me to tears everytime I listen to it...and my daughter is only 8 months lol

    R.... T....

    @White Boy Cool hold her close and never let her go!! Our world is so cold and no one cares but you and your family. Always treasure that! My hub and i lost our beautiful baby girl. She was 30 and lost in the opiod addiction epidemic after her car accident!! Anyway, we brought her into this life and i was there when she left this world as i gave her CPR!! At least she was home 😉

  26. �.... ....
