My Grandfather's Clock
Verse 1:
GMy grandfather's cDlock
Was too lGarge for the shCelf
So it Gstood ninety yeDars on the floGor
It was taGller by hDalf than the the oGld man himsCelf
Though it weiGghed not a peDnnyweights moGre
It was Gbought on the moDrn
Of the Cday that he was bGorn
And was alGways his pleCasure and prDide
But it sGtopped Dshort
GNever to go Cagain
When the Gold Dman dGied
GNinety years without slCumberiGng
GHis life seconds nuCmberinGg
It stoppGed, shDort neGver to go agaiCn
When the Gold Dman dGied
GMy grandfather sDaid
that of tGhose he could hiCre
Not a Gservant so faDithful he founGd
For it waGsted no tDime and had bGut one deCsire
At the clGose of each weDek to be woGund
And it Gkept in its plDace,
not a fCrown upon its fGace
GAnd its hands never hCung by its sDide
But it sGtopped Dshort,
Gnever to go Cagain
When the Gold Dman dGied
GIt rang and alarDmed
in the dGead of the niCght
An alaGrm that for yeDars had been dGumb
And we kGnew that his sDpirit was plGuming for flCight
That his hGour for depDarture had coGme
Still tGhe clock kept the tDime
with a Csoft and muffled chGime
GAs we silently stoCod by his sDide
But it sGtopped Dshort,
Gnever to go Cagain
When the Gold Dman dGied
GNinety years withouCt slumGbering
GHis life seconds nuCmberinGg
It stoppGed shDort, nGever to go agaCin
When the Gold Dman dGied
