Sunrise, Sunset

My niece, barely two years old then.
Got a bit misty eyed and overly sentimental when I saw a clip of my one and only niece belting out the lead parts of Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" along with her co-workers on YouTube.

Yes, she's the same little girl who used to sing along with me to Paul Westerberg's "First Glimmer" and Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" all grown up now.

Reminds me of a song from the musical Fiddler on the Roof.

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

Never cared for this song that much until now. Perhaps we all see things at a different perspective once we're older.

Oh, how time flies.
