Grandfather's Clock - The Everly Brothers

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 pennyweight 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

Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc

His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc

It stopped, short, never to go again

When the old man died

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

Ninety years without slumbering - tic toc tic toc

His life's seconds numbering - tic toc tic toc

It stopped, short, never to go again

When the old man died
