《Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] Grandfather's Clock - Harold Williams/Ernest Lush/BBC Male Voice Choir/Joseph Lewis

[00:00:05] My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf

[00:00:10] So it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:15] It was taller by half than the old man himself

[00:00:19] And it weight not a penny's weight more

[00:00:24] It was bought on the morn that my grandpa was born

[00:00:29] And was always his treasure and pride

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

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

[00:00:43] Ninety years without slumbering (tic tac tic tac)

[00:00:49] His life's seconds numbering (tic tac tic tac)

[00:00:53] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:57] When the old man died

[00:01:07] At watching it's pendulum swing to and fro

[00:01:12] Many hours he had spent as a boy

[00:01:16] As he grew into manhood the clock seemed to know

[00:01:21] For it sharaed everyu sorrow and joy

[00:01:25] And it struck tewntyfour as he entered the door

[00:01:29] With his beautiful and blushing bride

[00:01:34] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:01:38] When the old man died

[00:02:07] Then it rang an alarm in the dead of the night

[00:02:12] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:02:16] And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

[00:02:21] That his hour for departure had come

[00:02:27] Yes the clock kept the time

[00:02:29] With a soft and muffled chime

[00:02:31] As we stood there and watched by his side

[00:02:37] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:02:43] When the old man died
