I died happy in my sleep
I died happy in my sleep
My 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 the 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 the time
We used to wind it
Got time
We used to wind it
Now the time stands still
We can drink our fill
Out of silver
That will never
Tarnish like we will
You weren't just a girl that I should meet
You were the girl that I would meet
The 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
My 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 the time
We used to wind it
Got time
We used to wind it
Oh it's tick-tick-tick-tick-tocking to the time
We used to wind it
