Answer:
Time to come
Based on Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 work "The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde", this musical, "Jekyll & Hyde", with a re-write or two here and there, made its debut in Houston, Texas, 1990. It has proved to be surprisingly successful ever since. Interestingly, its original Broadway stint (1997-2001) saw US actor David Hasselhoff playing the lead male role for several months as well - hopefully wearing more clothes than was his wont in "Baywatch".
The lyrics quoted in the above question are from the song "Letting Go", vocalised by Emma Carew (daughter of Sir Danvers Carew) after her father has expressed concerns about her plans to marry Dr Jekyll. It is a beautiful duet about a father reluctantly agreeing to let his daughter move towards her future, and one of the sweeter songs in an otherwise very dark tale or prostitution, very gory murders, a psychological struggle over the very nature of man, and meddling with the very fabric of human DNA itself.
