1
I know the time will come
2
When you'll be taken from me
3
I've watched you growing up
4
With every passing day
5
I know the time will come
6
For life will soon demand it
7
When you will find someone
8
Who'll take you far away
9
And you will never see
10
The sadness in my smile
11
Your eyes will overflow
12
With happiness and tears
13
No you will never see the shadow
14
In my heart as I watch for the word
15
The spring of all my years
16
And I'll conceal the pain
17
Beneath a father's pride
18
While in the silent church
19
Together side by side
20
Each measured step
21
Would bring me closer to the time
22
You'll say the simple words
23
And I'll be left in sorrow
24
For what is mine today
25
Will never see tomorrow
26
I'll have to step aside
27
For someone I don't know
28
When all is said and done
29
He'll lead and you will follow
30
While through the stained glass window
31
I'll watch my daughter go.
32
I know the time will come
33
You'll blossom ever gently
34
One day from innocence
35
To woman wordly wise
36
I know the time will come
37
One unexpected moment
38
The dawn of life anew
39
Will awaken in your eyes
40
For he will come along
41
With all his boyish charms
42
He'll take your heart away
43
And leave me empty arms
44
And I will rue this day
45
This day he comes to you
46
With promises of love
47
To make your dreams come true
48
And though he takes our name
49
And gives you his instead
50
He'll never know the times
51
I stood beside your bed
52
Already I despise
53
this stranger with no face
54
But if he'll bring you joy
55
My heart to him I'll render
56
I'll give to him your hand
57
Our name I will surrender
58
Yes, I will do all this
59
Because I love you so
60
And as I see you now
61
Sweet child so softly sleeping
62
Your youth a moment's keeping
63
The time has come, I know.
