| [00:14.60] |
I know the time will come |
| [00:17.82] |
When you'll be taken from me |
| [00:21.32] |
I've watched you growing up |
| [00:24.37] |
With every passing day |
| [00:28.20] |
I know the time will come |
| [00:31.15] |
For life will soon demand it |
| [00:35.04] |
When you will find someone |
| [00:37.60] |
Who'll take you far away |
| [00:41.77] |
And you will never see |
| [00:44.70] |
The sadness in my smile |
| [00:48.26] |
Your eyes will overflow |
| [00:51.40] |
With happiness and tears |
| [00:55.57] |
No you will never see the shadow |
| [00:59.96] |
In my heart as I watch for the word |
| [01:05.20] |
The spring of all my years |
| [01:09.35] |
And I'll conceal the pain |
| [01:12.32] |
Beneath a father's pride |
| [01:15.95] |
While in the silent church |
| [01:19.00] |
Together side by side |
| [01:22.70] |
Each measured step |
| [01:24.49] |
Would bring me closer to the time |
| [01:29.77] |
You'll say the simple words |
| [01:33.17] |
And I'll be left in sorrow |
| [01:36.78] |
For what is mine today |
| [01:39.89] |
Will never see tomorrow |
| [01:43.55] |
I'll have to step aside |
| [01:46.32] |
For someone I don't know |
| [01:50.25] |
When all is said and done |
| [01:53.37] |
He'll lead and you will follow |
| [01:56.88] |
While through the stained glass window |
| [01:59.78] |
I'll watch my daughter go. |
| [02:04.89] |
I know the time will come |
| [02:07.14] |
You'll blossom ever gently |
| [02:10.44] |
One day from innocence |
| [02:13.38] |
To woman wordly wise |
| [02:16.85] |
I know the time will come |
| [02:20.37] |
One unexpected moment |
| [02:24.06] |
The dawn of life anew |
| [02:26.84] |
Will awaken in your eyes |
| [02:30.71] |
For he will come along |
| [02:34.10] |
With all his boyish charms |
| [02:37.39] |
He'll take your heart away |
| [02:40.70] |
And leave me empty arms |
| [02:44.56] |
And I will rue this day |
| [02:47.20] |
This day he comes to you |
| [02:51.34] |
With promises of love |
| [02:54.20] |
To make your dreams come true |
| [02:58.27] |
And though he takes our name |
| [03:00.94] |
And gives you his instead |
| [03:04.99] |
He'll never know the times |
| [03:07.66] |
I stood beside your bed |
| [03:11.91] |
Already I despise |
| [03:13.95] |
this stranger with no face |
| [03:18.06] |
But if he'll bring you joy |
| [03:21.52] |
My heart to him I'll render |
| [03:25.78] |
I'll give to him your hand |
| [03:28.76] |
Our name I will surrender |
| [03:32.01] |
Yes,I will do all this |
| [03:35.16] |
Because I love you so |
| [03:39.45] |
And as I see you now |
| [03:41.88] |
Sweet child so softly sleeping |
| [03:45.16] |
Your youth a moment's keeping |
| [03:49.14] |
The time has come, I know. |
