[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.
