《My Grandfather’s Clock》歌词

[00:00:00] My Grandfather's Clock - Bossa Kids

[00:00:18] My grandfather's clock

[00:00:20] Was too large for the shelf

[00:00:22] So it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:27] It was taller by half than the old man himself

[00:00:31] Though it weighed not a penny weight more

[00:00:36] It was bought on the morn

[00:00:38] Of the day that he was born

[00:00:40] And was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:45] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:50] When the old man died

[00:00:54] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:00:57] Tick Tock Tick Tock

[00:00:59] His life seconds numbering

[00:01:01] Tick Tock Tick Tock

[00:01:04] It stopped short never to go again

[00:01:08] When the old man died

[00:01:20] In watching its pendulum

[00:01:22] Swing to and fro

[00:01:24] Many hours had he spent as a boy

[00:01:29] And in childhood and manhood

[00:01:31] The clock seemed to know

[00:01:33] And share both his grief and his joy

[00:01:38] And it struck twenty four

[00:01:40] When he entered at the door

[00:01:42] With a blooming and beautiful bride

[00:01:47] But it stopped short

[00:01:49] Never to go again

[00:01:51] When the old man died

[00:01:56] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:01:58] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:01] His life seconds numbering

[00:02:03] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:05] It stopped short

[00:02:08] Never to go again

[00:02:10] When the old man died

[00:02:17] It rang an alarm

[00:02:19] In the dead of the night

[00:02:21] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:02:26] And we knew that his spirit

[00:02:28] Was pluming his flight

[00:02:30] That his hour of departure had come

[00:02:35] Still the clock kept the time

[00:02:37] With a soft and muffled chime

[00:02:39] As we silently stood by his side

[00:02:44] But it stopped short

[00:02:47] Never to go again

[00:02:49] When the old man died
