Hello, and welcome to Just Answer!

I believe the song you are looking for is called "To My Daughter" (A Ma Fille).

I know the time will come

When you'll be taken from me

I've watched you growing up

Waited,waited,passing day

I know the time will come

For life will soon demand it

When you will find someone

Who will take you far away

And you will never see

The sadness in my smile

Your eyes will overflow

With happiness and tears

No you will never see the shadow

In my heart as I watch forward

The spring of all my years

And I'll conceal the pain

Beneath a father's pride

While in the silent church

Together side by side

Each measured step

Would bring me close to the time

You'll say the simple words

And I'll be left in sorrow

For what is mine today

Will never see tomorrow

I'll have to step aside

For someone I don't know

When all is said and done

He'll lead and you will follow

While through the stained glass window

I'll watch my daughter go.

I know the time will come

You'll blossom ever gently

One day from innocence to

Woman wordly wise

I know the time will come

One unexpected moment

the dawn of life anew

Will awaken in your eyes

For he will come along

With all his boyish charms

He'll take your heart away

And I will rue this day

This day he comes to you

With promises of love

To make your dreams come true

And though he takes our name

And gives you his instead

He'll never know the times

I stood beside your bed

Already I despise this stranger

With no face

But if he'll bring you joy

My heart to him I'll render

I'll give to him your hand

Our name I will surrender

Yes,I will do all this

Because I love you so

And as I see you now

Sweet child so softly sleeping

Your youth a moment's keeping

The time has come I know.
