My Grandfather's Clock - Bossa Kids[00:00:00]
My grandfather's clock[00:00:18]
Was too large for the shelf[00:00:20]
So it stood ninety years on the floor[00:00:22]
It was taller by half than the old man himself[00:00:27]
Though it weighed not a penny weight more[00:00:31]
It was bought on the morn[00:00:36]
Of the day that he was born[00:00:38]
And was always his treasure and pride[00:00:40]
But it stopped short never to go again[00:00:45]
When the old man died[00:00:50]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:00:54]
Tick Tock Tick Tock[00:00:57]
His life seconds numbering[00:00:59]
Tick Tock Tick Tock[00:01:01]
It stopped short never to go again[00:01:04]
When the old man died[00:01:08]
In watching its pendulum[00:01:20]
Swing to and fro[00:01:22]
Many hours had he spent as a boy[00:01:24]
And in childhood and manhood[00:01:29]
The clock seemed to know[00:01:31]
And share both his grief and his joy[00:01:33]
And it struck twenty four[00:01:38]
When he entered at the door[00:01:40]
With a blooming and beautiful bride[00:01:42]
But it stopped short[00:01:47]
Never to go again[00:01:49]
When the old man died[00:01:51]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:01:56]
Tick tock tick tock[00:01:58]
His life seconds numbering[00:02:01]
Tick tock tick tock[00:02:03]
It stopped short[00:02:05]
Never to go again[00:02:08]
When the old man died[00:02:10]
It rang an alarm[00:02:17]
In the dead of the night[00:02:19]
An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:02:21]
And we knew that his spirit[00:02:26]
Was pluming his flight[00:02:28]
That his hour of departure had come[00:02:30]
Still the clock kept the time[00:02:35]
With a soft and muffled chime[00:02:37]
As we silently stood by his side[00:02:39]
But it stopped short[00:02:44]
Never to go again[00:02:47]
When the old man died[00:02:49]
