My Grandfather's Clock
Lyricist:Henry Clay Work
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf So it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride But it stopped short never to go again When the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering (Tick tock, tick tock) His life seconds numbering (Tick tock, tick tock) It stopped short never to go again when the old man died
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro Many hours had he spent while a boy And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know And to share both his grief and his joy
For it struck twenty four when he entered the door With a blooming and beautiful bride But it stopped short never to go again When the old man died
My grandfather said that of all those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time and had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Grandfather's gone (Tick tock, tick tock) Grandfather's gone (Tick tock, tick tock)
And kept in its place, not a frown upon its face And its hands never hung by its side But it stopped short never to go again When the old man died
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb And we knew that his spirit was pluming its flight That the hour of departure had come
Still the clock kept the time With a soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died
Ninety years without slumbering (Tick tock, tick tock) His life seconds numbering (Tick tock, tick tock) It stopped short never to go again when the old man died (The old man died) It stopped short never to go again when the old man died (The old man he died, he died, oh)
