Grandfather's Clock

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself
And it weight not a penny's weight more

It was bought on the morn on the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride

But it stopped short
never to go again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering
tic tac tic tac
His life's seconds numbering
tic tac tic tac

But it stopped short
never to go again
When the old man died.

At watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours he had spent as a boy
As he grew into manhood the clock seemed to know
And it sharaed everyu sorrow and joy
For it struck tewntyfour as he entered the door
With his beautiful and blushing bride

But it stopped short
never to go again
When the old man died

Grandfather's Clock(tic tac tic tac)
Grandfather's Clock(tic tac tic tac)
Grandfather's Clock(tic tac tic tac)

For it struck tewntyfour as he entered the door
With his beautiful and blushing bride

But it stopped short
never to go again
When the old man died

Then it rang an alarm in the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb
And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight
That his hour for departure had come
Still the clock kept the time
With a soft and m___led chime
As we watched there and stood by his side

But it stopped short
never to go again
When the old man died

Ninety years without slumbering
tic tac tic tac
His life's seconds numbering
tic tac tic tac

But it stopped short
never to go again
When the old man died.

But it stopped short never to go a..g..a.i..n
When the old man died.
