To My Daughter Chords by Charles Aznavour

_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I know the time will come _
_ [C#m] when you'll be taken from me
_ [F#] I've watched you growing up [C#m] with every passing day _
[F#m] I know the time will come _ [C#m] for life will soon demand it
_ [F#m] When you will find someone [D#] _
_ [E] who'll take you far [C#m] away _
[F#m] And you will never _ see [Em] the sadness [A] _ in my smile
_ [D#m] Your eyes will overflow [C#m] _ _
with happiness [G#] _ and [C#m] _
tears
[F#m] _ No, you will never [B] see _ [E] the shadow _ [A] in my heart
[D#] As I watch fall [G#] dwell the [C#m] spring of all my _ years
_ [A] And I'll conceal [B] the pain [E] beneath a father's [A] pride
_ _ [D#] While in the silent [G#] church _ [C#m] together _ side by side
_ [F#m] Each measured step would bring me [C#m] _ closer to the _ time
_ [F#m] You'll say the simple words _ [C#m] and I'll be left in sorrow
[F#m] For what is mine today _ [C#m] we'll never see _ tomorrow
_ [F#m] _ I'll have to step aside [C#m] for _ someone I don't know
_ [D#] When all is said and done _ [C#m] he'll lead and you will follow
_ _ [F#m] While through the stained [C#m] glass window _ [D#] I'll watch [G#] my daughter [C#m] go
_ [F#m] I know the time will come _ _ [C#m] you'll blossom ever gently
_ _ [F#m] One day from innocence _ _ [C#m] to woman worldly wise _
_ [F#m] I know the time will come _ [C#m] one _ unexpected moment
_ [F#] The dawn of life in you _ [C#m] will awaken in your eyes
_ [F#m] For he [B] will come _ along [E] with all his [A] boyish charms
_ [D#] He'll take your heart away [C#m] _ _
and [A] leave me [G#] empty [C#m] arms
_ [F#m] And I will rue this [B] day, [G#m] this day he [A] comes to you
[D#] _ With promises [G#m] of love to [C#m] make your dreams come true
_ [A] _ And though he takes [B] our _ name [E] and gives you his [A] instead _
_ [D#] _ He'll never know [G#m] the times I [C#m] stood beside your _ bed
[F#m] _ Already I _ despise this stranger [C#m] _ with no _ face
[F#] But if he'll bring you joy _ my [C#m] heart to him I'll render
_ _ [F#m] I'll give to him your hand _ [C#m] our name I will surrender
_ [F#] Yes I will do all this _ [C#m] because I love you so
_ _ [D#] And as I see you _ now [C#m] sweet child so softly sleeping
Your [F#m] youth a [C#m] moment's keeping _ [F#m] the _ time _ _ _ [G#] has _ come _ _ [C#] I _ [E] know _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
