Karaoke Track: Grandfather's Clock by Standard (DK Karaoke) - Karaoke Nerds

My grandfathefs 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

tho, it weighed not
a penny weight more

It was bought

on the mom, of 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,
tick, took, tick, tock
His life seconds

numbering,
tick, took, tick, tock

It stopped short
never to go again

when the old man died

In watching
its pendulum swing
to and fro,

many hours had
he spent While a boy

And in childhood
and manhood the clock
seemed to know,

and to share
both his grief
and his joy

For it struck twenty-four
When he entered
at the door,
With a blooming
and beautiful bride

But it stopped short
never to go again

when the old man died

Ninety years
Without slumbering,
tick, took, tick, tock
His life seconds

numbering,
tick, took, tick, tock

My grandfather said
that of those
he could hire,

not a servant
so faithful he found

For it wasted no time,
and had but one desire,

at the close of each week
to be wound

And it kept in its place,
not a frown
upon its face,

and its hands
never hung by its side

But it stopped short
never to go again

when the old man died

Ninety years
Without slumbering,
tick, took, tick, tock
His life seconds

numbering,
tick, took, tick, tock

It stopped short
never to go again

when the old man died
