The other [C] night, dear, as I lay [C7] sleeping

You never [F]know, dear, how much I [C]love you
Please don't take my [G7]sunshine a[C]way
Verse 2
I'll always [C]love you and make you [C7]happy
If you will [F]only say the [C]same
But if you [F]leave me to love an-[C]other,
You'll regret it [G7]all one [C]day
Chorus

and no one [F]else could come be-[C]tween
But now you’ve [F]left me to love a-[C]nother
you have shattered [G7]all my [C]dreams
Chorus

My Grandfather’s Clock
Verse 1
My [G]Grandfather's [D7]clock was too [G]large for the [C]shelf
So it [G]stood 90 [D7]years on the [G]floor
It was [G]taller by [D7]half than the [G]old man him-[C]self
Tho' it [G]weighed not a [D7]pennyweight [G]more [G]
It was [G]bought on the [A7]morn, of the [D7]day that he was [D7]born
And was [G]always his [A7]treasure and pride [D7]
Bridge
/ /
[NC]But it [G]stopped - [D7]short - [G]never to go a-[C]gain
When the [G]old [D7]man [G] died
/ / / /
90 [G]years without slumbering (tick tock tick tock)
/ / / /
His [G]life seconds numbering (tick tock tick tock)
/ /
But it stopped [G] short [D7] never to go a-[C]gain
When the [G]old [D7]man [G]died
Verse 2
In [G]watching its [D7]pendulum [G]swing to and [C]fro
Many [G]hours had he [D7]spent as a [G]boy [G]
And in [G]childhood and [D7]manhood the [G]clock seemed to [C]know
And to [G]share both his [D7]grief and his [G]joy [G]
For it [G]struck twenty-[A7]four when he [D7]entered at the [D7]door
With a [G]blooming and [A7]beautiful bride [D7]
Bridge
Verse 3
Then it [G]rang an a-[D7]larm in the [G]dead of the [C]night
An a-[G]larm that for [D7]years had been [G]dumb [G]
And we [G]knew that his [D7]spirit was [G]pluming its [C]flight
That his [G]hour of de-[D7]parture had [G]come [G]
Still the [G]clock kept the [A7]time, with a [D7]soft and muffled [D7]chime
As we [G]silently [A7]stood by his side [D7]
/ /
But it stopped [G] short [D7] never to go a-[C]gain
When the [G]old [D7]man [G]died
