THERE COMES A TIME
>From the London Musical "The Four Musketeers"
(Music: Laurie Johnson / Lyrics: Herbert Kretzmer)


Harry Secombe (London Stage Production) - 1967
Jack Jones - 1968





There comes a time when a man has to learn to walk alone
No stars above that will light him the way
Then he must teach his heart to brave the lonely night
Till the light of a bright new day

There comes a time and a man has to face that time alone
Dark though it be, he must face it somehow
Then it is true, my friend, the longest night must end
And the finest day you've seen lies before you clear and clean
There's a way and a time, and the time is now
