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 the grandfather clock
Is tick-tick-tock-tick-tock (to the time we used to wind it)
(Instrumental break)
She brought the sugar and the mint
She brought the sugar and the mint
And he brought the whiskey asked for my blessing
(NC)
Heaven's a julep on the porch
Heaven's a julep on the porch
You and me rocking the grandfather clock
Is tick-tick-tock-tick-tock (to the time we used to wind it)
(Instrumental break)
Now the time stands still
We can drink our fill
Out of silver that will never
Tarnish like we will
(Instrumental break)
You weren't just a girl that I should meet
You were the girl that I would meet
For drinks in the backyard a beautiful daughter
A lifetime 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
From heaven's a julep on the porch
Heaven's a julep on the porch
You and me rocking the grandfather clock
Is tick-tick-tock-tick-tock (to the time we used to wind it)
