《My Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] My Grandfather's Clock - The Shelton Brothers

[00:00:08] My grandfather's clock

[00:00:10] Was too large for the shelf

[00:00:12] So it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:16] It was taller by half

[00:00:18] Than the old man himself

[00:00:20] Though it weighed not a penny weight more

[00:00:24] It was bought on the morn

[00:00:26] Of the day that he was born

[00:00:28] And was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:32] But it stopped short

[00:00:35] Never to go again

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

[00:00:41] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:00:45] His life seconds numbering

[00:00:50] It stopped short

[00:00:52] Never to go again

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

[00:00:58] In watching its pendulum

[00:01:00] Swing to and fro

[00:01:02] Many hours had he spent while a boy

[00:01:06] And in childhood and manhood

[00:01:08] The clock seemed to know

[00:01:10] And to share both his grief and his joy

[00:01:14] For it struck twenty-four

[00:01:16] When he entered at the door

[00:01:18] With a blooming and beautiful bride

[00:01:22] But it stopped short

[00:01:25] Never to go again

[00:01:26] When the old man died

[00:01:31] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:01:35] His life seconds numbering

[00:01:39] It stopped short

[00:01:42] Never to go again

[00:01:43] When the old man died

[00:01:48] It rang an alarm

[00:01:49] In the dead of the night

[00:01:52] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:01:55] And we knew that his spirit

[00:01:58] Was pluming his flight

[00:02:00] That his hour of departure had come

[00:02:03] Still the clock kept the time

[00:02:06] With a soft and muffled chime

[00:02:08] As we silently stood by his side

[00:02:11] But it stopped short

[00:02:14] Never to go again

[00:02:16] When the old man died

[00:02:20] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:02:25] His life seconds numbering

[00:02:29] It stopped short

[00:02:31] Never to go again

[00:02:33] When the old man died
