Lyrics of the Day

Today's the fourth of July
Another June has gone by
And when they light up our town I just think
What a waste of gunpowder and sky.

Lyrics of the Day

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

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

Sheldon Harnick, 1964
