There’ll Come a Time Some Day.

There’ll Come a Time Some Day.
336.6

Why are you sad, papa, my darling.
Why do you look at me so strangely.
Have I done wrong. tell me. I pray?
No, no, my child, you are an angel,
There’s not a heart purer than thine:
That’s why I fear some day you’ll leave me
Just as your mother did, there’ll Come a time.

Chorus-
There’ll come a time some day,
When I have passed away;
There’ll be no father to guide you
From day to day.
Think well of all I’ve said,
Honor the man you wed.
Always remember my story,
There’ll come a time.
Let me know all, papa, my darling,
Tell I pray, of mother dear.
Where has she gone, why did she leave us,
Why is her name never heard here?
I never felt those arms about me,
Nor those sweet lips pressed close to mine.
I’d give my life only to see her.
Tell me dear para, will thera
Come a time?

Some years ago, well I remember,
Your mother, child, left home one night.
She fled, alas, with another.
Tis the same tule, vanished from sight, T
was but a year back to the old home,
She came to die, yes, baby mine
That’s whly I fear kome day you’ll leave me
Just on your mother did. There’ll come a time.
