This morning Mevely wrote about a half birthday she received, and finished her thought with "Funny, I don't remember growing older".
I replied, telling her the statement made me think of the beautiful Fiddler on the Roof song "Sunrise, Sunset", with the line "I don't remember growing older / When did they?" I appreciated the song's sentiment when I was in my 20s, but now decades later I understand it on a whole deeper level.
Since I've been humming the song all day, I thought you might like to share it with me.
Thank you do much for this shout out! This is one of my all time favorite songs. I agree, it gets better, more relatable as time goes by. (How's that for another earworm ...lol)
ReplyDeleteAn earworm for another day :-)
DeleteWell, the years do creep up suddenly, don't they?
ReplyDeleteAnd 'suddenly' gets faster the older I get.

DeleteFiddler on the Roof is one of my favorite all time movies. Love that song. Now I’ll be humming it.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteOh no... You've passed the ear worm on to me. I loved Fiddler on the Roof. But yes, I can't believe how fast the years flew by.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like there will be lots of people humming along in the next few days.
DeleteIt's not just the years flashing past - the days are speeding up, too. I love that song.
ReplyDeleteDays....hours....minutes....it's all flying by.
DeleteThis is the beauty of love dear Kathy 🥹
ReplyDeleteWhen two people become “home “ for each other rest can be easier part of the reality 🥰
Thanks for sharing beautiful song 🥰♥️
I love the way you put it!
DeleteI haven't heard that song in a long time. It always makes me a little sad.
ReplyDeletewould you believe that I have never seen Fiddler on the roof?? Not even familiar with the song. Where have I been?? LOL. have a super great day...raining here!
ReplyDeleteThat song makes me so sad, especially when I think of parents who long for their children to be children again, but have to let them go. But for all of us, heading into the sunset.
