[Intro 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]I know the time will
come [Am]when you'll be taken from me
[Dm]I've watched you growing
up with every [Am]passing day
[Dm]I know the time will come for
[Am]life will soon demand it
[Dm]When you will find someone
who'll [Am]take you far away
[Dm]And you will never s[G]ee the
[C]sadness [F]in my smile
Your eye[Bdim]s will overflow[Am]
with happiness [E]and [Am]tears

[Verse 2]
[Dm]No you will never see[G]
[Em]the shadow in my [A]heart
[Dm]As I watch fall to[G] earth the
spring [C]of all my years
[Dm]An d I'll conceal th[G]e pain be
[Em]neath a father's [A]pride
While [Dm]in the silent ch[G]urch
togeth[C]er side by side

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Each measured step would bring
[Am]me closer to the [F]time
[Dm]You'll say the simple words
and I'll [Am]be left in sorrow
[Dm]For what is mine today
[Am]will never see tomor[F]row
[Am]I'll have [Dm]to step aside for
[Am]someone I don't know
When [Dm]all is said and done
[Am]he'll lead and you will follow
While [Dm]through the stain- glass window
I'll [Am]watch my [E]daughter [Am]go

[Verse 4]
[Dm]I know the time will come you'll
blos[Am]som ever gently
[Dm]One day from innocence to woman
[Am]wordly- [Dm]wise
I know the time will come
[Am]one unexpected mo[E]ment
[Am]The dawn[Dm] of life anew [A]will[Dm]
[Am]waken in your eyes
[Dm]For he will come a[G]long with all [C]his
boyish [F]charms
He'll take [Bdim]your heart away,
[E]and[Am] leave me e[E]mpty arm[Am] s

[Verse 5]
[Dm]And I will rue t[G]his day,
[Em]this day he comes to [A]you
With [Dm]promises [G]of love to make
[C]your dreams come true
[Dm]An d though he takes our n[G]ame,
and gives [Em]you his in[A]stead
He'll [Dm]never know [G]the times I
[C]stood before your bed

[Verse 6]
[Dm]Already I despise [Am]this stranger with no [F]face
[Am]But,[Dm] if he'll bring you joy,
my heart [Am]to him I'll render
I'll [Dm]give to him your hand,
our [Am]name I will surrender
[Dm]Yes I will do all this b[Am]ecause I love you so
[Dm]And as I see you now,
sweet [Am]child so softly sleeping
Your [Dm]youth a moment's keeping
[Am]The time has [E]come [Dm]I know

[Outro 1]
