《My Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] My Grandfather's Clock - Paul Austin Kelly

[00:00:00] My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf

[00:00:05] So it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:10] It was taller by half than the old man himself

[00:00:15] Though it weighed not a penny weight more

[00:00:19] It was bought on the morn of the day

[00:00:23] That he was born

[00:00:24] And was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:29] But it stopped short Never to go again

[00:00:34] When the old man died

[00:00:39] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:00:41] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:44] His life seconds numbering

[00:00:46] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:48] It stopped short Never to go again

[00:00:53] When the old man died

[00:00:58] In watching it's pendulum swing to and fro

[00:01:03] Many hours had he spent while a boy

[00:01:07] And in childhood and manhood

[00:01:10] The clock seemed to know

[00:01:12] And to share both his grief and his joy

[00:01:17] For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door

[00:01:22] With a blooming and beautiful bride

[00:01:26] But it stopped short Never to go again

[00:01:31] When the old man died

[00:01:36] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:01:39] Tick tock tick tock

[00:01:41] His life seconds numbering

[00:01:44] Tick tock tick tock

[00:01:46] It stopped short Never to go again

[00:01:51] When the old man died

[00:02:05] My grandfather said that of those he could hire

[00:02:10] Not a servant so faithful he found

[00:02:15] For it wasted no time and had but one desire

[00:02:19] At the close of each week to be wound

[00:02:24] And it kept in it's place not a frown upon it's face

[00:02:29] And it's hands never hung by it's side

[00:02:34] But it stopped short Never to go again

[00:02:38] When the old man died

[00:02:43] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:02:46] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:48] His life seconds numbering

[00:02:51] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:53] It stopped short Never to go again

[00:02:58] When the old man died

[00:03:02] It rang an alarm in the dead of the night

[00:03:07] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:03:12] And we knew that his spirit was pluming his flight

[00:03:17] That his hour of departure had come

[00:03:22] Still the clock kept the time

[00:03:24] With a soft and muffled chime

[00:03:26] As we silently stood by his side

[00:03:30] By his side

[00:03:31] But it stopped short Never to go again

[00:03:36] When the old man died

[00:03:41] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:03:44] Tick tock tick tock

[00:03:46] His life seconds numbering

[00:03:49] Tick tock tick tock

[00:03:51] It stopped short Never to go again

[00:03:55] When the old man died

[00:04:00] Yes it stopped short Never to go again

[00:04:05] When the old man died
