Grandfather's Clock

Grandfather Clock

     When I was young, not four foot tall,
     My Grandpa’s clock I remember well	
     Stood and chimed, alone in the hall
     When I was young, not four foot tall.	
     Taller than I, standing by the wall.
     Older than he? I could not tell
     When I was young, not four foot tall.
     My Grandpa’s clock - I remember well!
