《To My Daughter》歌词

[00:00:14] i know the time will come

[00:00:17] when you'll be taken from me

[00:00:21] i've watched you growing up

[00:00:24] with every passing day

[00:00:28] i know the time will come

[00:00:31] for life will soon demand it

[00:00:35] when you will find someone

[00:00:37] who'll take you far away

[00:00:41] and you will never see

[00:00:44] the sadness in my smile

[00:00:48] your eyes will overflow

[00:00:51] with happiness and tears

[00:00:55] no you will never see the shadow

[00:00:59] in my heart as i watch for the word

[00:01:05] the spring of all my years

[00:01:09] and i'll conceal the pain

[00:01:12] beneath a father's pride

[00:01:15] while in the silent church

[00:01:19] together side by side

[00:01:22] each measured step

[00:01:24] would bring me closer to the time

[00:01:29] you'll say the simple words

[00:01:33] and i'll be left in sorrow

[00:01:36] for what is mine today

[00:01:39] will never see tomorrow

[00:01:43] i'll have to step aside

[00:01:46] for someone i don't know

[00:01:50] when all is said and done

[00:01:53] he'll lead and you will follow

[00:01:56] while through the stained glass window

[00:01:59] i'll watch my daughter go.

[00:02:04] i know the time will come

[00:02:07] you'll blossom ever gently

[00:02:10] one day from innocence

[00:02:13] to woman wordly wise

[00:02:16] i know the time will come

[00:02:20] one unexpected moment

[00:02:24] the dawn of life anew

[00:02:26] will awaken in your eyes

[00:02:30] for he will come along

[00:02:34] with all his boyish charms

[00:02:37] he'll take your heart away

[00:02:40] and leave me empty arms

[00:02:44] and i will rue this day

[00:02:47] this day he comes to you

[00:02:51] with promises of love

[00:02:54] to make your dreams come true

[00:02:58] and though he takes our name

[00:03:00] and gives you his instead

[00:03:04] he'll never know the times

[00:03:07] i stood beside your bed

[00:03:11] already i despise

[00:03:13] this stranger with no face

[00:03:18] but if he'll bring you joy

[00:03:21] my heart to him i'll render

[00:03:25] i'll give to him your hand

[00:03:28] our name i will surrender

[00:03:32] yes,i will do all this

[00:03:35] because i love you so

[00:03:39] and as i see you now

[00:03:41] sweet child so softly sleeping

[00:03:45] your youth a moment's keeping

[00:03:49] the time has come, i know.
