  *++Lyrics:|\\
"Why are you sad, papa, my darling,\\
Why are those tears falling today,\\
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,\\
Yet I've a fear, someday 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 me I pray, of mother dear,\\
Why has she gone, why did she leave us,\\
Why is her name never heard here?\\
I never felt her arms about me,\\
Nor her sweet lips prest close to mine,\\
I'd give my life, only to see her,\\
Tell me, dear papa, will there come a time."\\
\\
"Some years ago, well I remember,\\
Your mother, child, left home one night,\\
She fled, alas, fled with another,\\
'Tis the old tale, vanished from sight,\\
'Twas but a year, back to the old home,\\
She came to die, yes, baby mine,\\
That's why I fear, some day you'll leave me,\\
Just as your mother did, there'll come a time."\\
