I died happy in my sleep
I died happy in my sleep
My children around, and you're looking down from-
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 that 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're looking down from-
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
Tick, tick, tick, tick-tocking to the time
We used to wind it
