[00:00:00] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:02] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:04] My grandfather's clock was to

[00:00:07] Large for the shelf

[00:00:08] So it stood ninety years on the floor

[00:00:12] It was taller by half than the old man himself

[00:00:17] Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

[00:00:21] It was bought on the morn of the day

[00:00:24] That he was born

[00:00:26] And was always his treasure and pride

[00:00:30] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:00:34] When the old man died

[00:00:38] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:00:41] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:43] His life seconds numbering

[00:00:46] Tick tock tick tock

[00:00:48] It stopped short never to go again

[00:00:52] When the old man died

[00:00:56] In watching its pendulum swing to and from

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

[00:01:04] And in childhood and manhood

[00:01:07] The clock seemed to know

[00:01:09] And to share both his grief and his joy

[00:01:13] And it struck twenty-four

[00:01:15] When he entered the door

[00:01:17] With a blooming and beautiful bride

[00:01:22] But it stopped short never to go again

[00:01:26] When the old man died

[00:01:30] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:01:33] Tick tock tick tock

[00:01:35] His life seconds numbering

[00:01:38] Tick tock tick tock

[00:01:40] It stopped short never to go again

[00:01:44] When the old man died

[00:01:48] It rang an alarm in the dead of the night

[00:01:52] An alarm that for years had been dumb

[00:01:56] And we knew that his spirit was

[00:01:59] Pluming its flight

[00:02:01] That his hour of departure had come

[00:02:05] Still the clock kept the time

[00:02:07] With a soft muffled chime

[00:02:09] As we silently stood by his side

[00:02:14] But it stopped short

[00:02:16] Never to go again

[00:02:18] When the old man died

[00:02:22] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:02:25] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:27] His life seconds numbering

[00:02:29] Tick tock tick tock

[00:02:31] It stopped short never to go again

[00:02:39] When the old man died
