Song Lyrics

With happiness and tears, he ll lead and you will follow
the spring of all my years
My heart to him i ll render, with every passing day
The sadness in my smile, i will do all this, he ll lead and you will follow

I know the time will come, one unexpected moment
but if he ll bring you joy
And though he takes our name, the dawn of life anew
with promises of love

for life will soon demand it
you ll say the simple words
and leave me empty arms
With all his boyish charms, with every passing day, this day he comes to you

Because i love you so, the sadness in my smile, this stranger with no face
i will do all this
when you will find someone
When you ll be taken from me, and i ll conceal the pain Daughter, i know the time will come

because i love you so
The sadness in my smile, and i ll conceal the pain To, to make your dreams come true
With all his boyish charms, in my heart as i watch for the word
He ll lead and you will follow, and you will never see, will awaken in your eyes

To make your dreams come true, together side by side
You ll blossom ever gently, the spring of all my years
And i ll conceal the pain, while through the stained glass window, i ve watched you growing up
the dawn of life anew

I ve watched you growing up, i ll watch my daughter go
To make your dreams come true, your youth a moment s keeping
He ll never know the times, and gives you his instead, i know the time will come
and i ll be left in sorrow

And i ll be left in sorrow, when you will find someone
i ll have to step aside
And gives you his instead, i ll have to step aside, and leave me empty arms
But if he ll bring you joy, and i ll be left in sorrow

But if he ll bring you joy, for someone i don t know
And i ll be left in sorrow, i will do all this My, who ll take you far away
I ll give to him your hand, and though he takes our name
