Grandfather's Clock - Gerald Moore (杰拉尔德·穆尔)/YL Male Voice Choir[00:00:00]
Tick tock tick tock[00:00:00]
Tick tock tick [00:00:03]
My grandfather's clock was[00:00:05]
Too large for the shelf[00:00:07]
So it stood ninety years on the floor[00:00:10]
It was taller by half[00:00:14]
Than the old man himself[00:00:17]
Though it weighed not[00:00:19]
A pennyweight more[00:00:20]
It was bought on the morn'[00:00:24]
Of the day that he was born[00:00:26]
And was always his treasure and pride[00:00:29]
But it stopped [00:00:33]
Short never to go again[00:00:35]
When the old man died[00:00:38]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:00:43]
Tick tock tick tock[00:00:46]
His life seconds numbering[00:00:48]
Tick tock tick tock[00:00:51]
It stopped short never to go again[00:00:53]
When the old man died[00:00:57]
Tick tock tick tock[00:01:03]
Tick tock tick [00:01:05]
In watching its pendulum swing[00:01:07]
To and fro [00:01:10]
Many hours had he spent[00:01:12]
While a boy[00:01:14]
And in childhood and manhood[00:01:16]
The clock seemed to know[00:01:19]
And to share both his grief[00:01:21]
And his joy [00:01:23]
For it struck twenty-four[00:01:25]
When he entered at the door [00:01:27]
With a blooming and beautiful bride[00:01:30]
But it stopped short[00:01:34]
Never to go again[00:01:37]
When the old man died [00:01:39]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:01:44]
Tick tock tick tock [00:01:47]
His life's seconds numbering [00:01:49]
Tick tock tick tock[00:01:51]
It stopped short[00:01:53]
Never to go again[00:01:56]
When the old man died [00:01:57]
It rang an alarm[00:02:07]
In the dead of the night[00:02:10]
An alarm that for years[00:02:12]
Had been dumb[00:02:14]
And we knew that his spirit[00:02:17]
Was pluming for flight[00:02:20]
That his hour of departure had come [00:02:22]
Still the clock kept the time [00:02:27]
With a soft and muffled chime [00:02:30]
As we silently stood by his side[00:02:32]
But it stopped short[00:02:38]
Never to go again[00:02:42]
When the old man died [00:02:44]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:02:50]
Tick tock tick tock[00:02:53]
His life's seconds numbering [00:02:55]
Tick tock tick tock [00:02:58]
It stopped short[00:03:00]
Never to go again[00:03:03]
When the old man died [00:03:04]
Tick tock[00:03:11]
