Almost too heart wrenching to hear as I look at a cherished pic of my dad in his Piper Cub J3 with me on his knee as the precocious 4 year old I will never again be…..

Having performed in almost every musical written, "Fiddler on the Roof" is by far my favorite, most emotional and fun that I have done.

My wife and i had this version of Sunrise Sunset on our chuppah. It brings always tears in my eyes.

I'm a father of 73, one with a son who grew from fresh smelling babe to tall, proud Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy in just a blink of the eye.  Watching as your child grows and moves on is one of the most terrifying, moving, heart breaking (in a great way) journeys anyone can take.  This song captures it and moves me to tears of joy...nostalgia...love in its purest forms.

[Latap]

Whew; Lots of Happy and Lots of Sad for me, but a Very Moving, Beautiful Song....

[hbyoung]

As a Jewish father  of four children and nine grandchildren this song always brings tears to my eyes. God Bless

맥릭감독의 독특하고 귀한 트리오브라이프 와 인생을 생각하게하는 값진음악입니다.
"지봉위에 바이올린" 그때는 이 음악이 이렇게 가슴뭉쿨한 멜로디인지!
각각의 영화와 음악과 함께 배경이 참 좋습니다. 청빈과 한길 몰몬정신같습니다.

[pimpernelsmith]

Life goes by in an eye blink, folks... cherish it.

[eriane]

I never cried because of this song until I heard this.

[rabbit]

Beautiful sentiments portrayed in this magnificent song by the best choir in the world. O, the joys of childhood, but so swift to pass away, as all tender parents know !!!

At 3:32, it looked like the kite was carrying the little boy away but the father guided the child onto his shoulder instead. It's a magical bit of imagery for such a stirring song. The movie taught me so much about faith - more than any catechism class. When I was younger, I couldn't understand why Tevye wouldn't accept Chava's decision. Stronger today in my faith (as a Christian, ironically), I understand completely. I don't mean to say Chava was wrong, but that's just the point: we all make our own decisions about what's important to us. Chava made hers and Tevye's was to hold on to what made him whole; to what I'm sure he wanted to have passed on to Chava. He loved his daughter, but he could not accept her decision. I understand now that those are mutually exclusive.

My grandpa Owen sang this song at my wedding reception. This song means more to me now than ever! I fully intend to sing this at my children's (and grandchildren's) wedding receptions, too.

[hedayateshraghiazar]

during last 40 years of my life I have heard this song over and over and still it is very touching and calmful
extreamly beautiful song and performance

[suzettebacigalupi]

This reminds me of my mother, she loved this piece, I miss her so

[johnkishell]

Beautiful!! I wish the whole world was filled with that kind of love and serenity!

[eleanorligon]

When I was a senior in High School we did the musical Fiddler on the Roof, I was the youngest daughter Chava and when we sang this song I had to look happy, but It was so much deeper for me as I was applying for college, graduating High School and my dad was in the musical, so it made it so much harder for me not to cry as I realized this song might have been for the play but in a way it was my life at that moment. I love this song and as I sit here in my college dorm I can't help but remember that time in my Senior year of High School.

[prestigioustv]

I love this,
I believe that the church is one all over the world

[mirabeauamado]

I live in Brazil, and I dream of knowing this Mormon tabernacle and being able to watch live such beautiful presentations.

[juless]

[sridharachowdaiah]
