My Grandfather’s Clock Lyrics
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
Though it weighed not a single pound more
It was bought on the morn
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
The whole clock let down
On the first step he took
As he left my great grandmother’s arms
It watched over him
When he read his first book
And he saw his first lovе and her charm
Through his laughter and tears
It kеpt calling off the years
And its proud voice was heard far and wide
But it stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours had he watched as a boy
While the clock take the long
Never fast, never slow
Till one day it ran wild in his joy
For it struck 24 when he entered at the door
With a blushing and beautiful bride
But it stopped, short never to go again
When the old man died
