[00:03.32]My grandfather's clock was to large for the shelf'
[00:09.63]So it stood ninety years on the floor;
[00:16.68]It was taller by half than the old man himself'
[00:23.31]Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
[00:30.27]It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born'
[00:37.09]And was always his treasure and pride.
[00:44.06]But it stopped short' Never to go again'
[00:50.79]When the old man died..
[00:57.71]In watching its pendulum swing to and fro'
[01:04.45]Many hours had he spent while a boy;
[01:11.38]And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know'
[01:18.23]And to share both his grief and his joy.
[01:25.11]For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door'
[01:32.05]With a blooming and beautiful bride.
[01:38.88]But it stopped short' Never to go again'
[01:45.58]When the old man died..
[01:52.56]Ninety years without slumbering
[01:56.79]Tick' tock' tick' tock'
[02:00.17]His life seconds numbering'
[02:03.64]Tick' tock' tick' tock
[02:06.85]It stopped short' Never to go again
[02:13.01]When the old man died.
[02:19.98]And it kept in its place' not a frown upon its face'
[02:26.88]And its hands never hung by its side;
[02:33.60]But it stopped short' Never to go again'
[02:40.47]When the old man died..
[02:48.44]
[03:03.45]It rang an alarm in the dead of the night'
[03:09.75]An alarm that for years had been dumb;
[03:16.54]And we know that his spirit was pluming its flight'
[03:23.33]That his hour of departure had come.
[03:30.21]Still the clock kept the time'
[03:33.67]with a soft muffled chime'
[03:37.11]As we silently stood by his side;
[03:44.12]But it stopped short' Never to go again'
[03:50.79]When the old man died..
[03:57.78]When the old man died..
