I died happy in my sleep I died happy in my sleep Our children around and you looking down Heaven's a julep on the porch Heaven's a julep on the porch You and me rocking A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to time We used to wind it She brought the sugar and the mint She brought the sugar and the mint And he brought the whiskey Asked for my blessing Yes sir I know she's Heaven's a julep on the porch Heaven's a julep on the porch You and me rocking A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tocking to time We used to wind it Got time We used to wind it Now the time stands still We drink our fill Out of silver God will never Tarnish like we will You were just a girl that I should meet You were the girl that I would meet For drinks in the backyard A beautiful daughter Lifetimes of summer And love ever after I died happy in my sleep I died happy in my sleep Our children around and you looking down Heaven's a julep on the porch Heaven's a julep on the porch You and me rocking A grandfather clock is tick, tick, tick, tick, tocking to time We used to wind it Got time We used to wind it Oh it's tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tocking to time We used to wind it
