Mary had a little clock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mary had a little clock that works in its own way Just another afternoon in May Children playing birds were singing postmen said hello What if Mary wasn't late that day Johnny was a lonely man who has not much to say He's now on the roof to say goodbye He was so in love with Mary when she was engaged Sadly he was not her fiance [Pre-Chorus] (Yah, yah) (Yah, yah) (Yah, yah) (Yah, yah) [Chorus] So God I ask why today Are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray? Is that how you work your way? Now I'm so afraid To some it was one fine day To them the very end of life well that's their fate So that's how people come and go What's gonna happen no onе knows [Verse 2] Johnny took a breath and quietly he jumpеd off the roof What if Mary wasn't late that day [Chorus] So God I ask why today Are they not dear enough to you? Did they not pray? Is that how you work your own way? Now I'm so afraid To some it was one fine day To them the very end of life well that's their fate So that's how people come and go What's gonna happen no one knows [Chorus] So God I ask why today Well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday But now the happiness subside Will she rest in peace in her own grave? 'Bout him I dare not say He landed on her head and broke her neck they say So that's how tragic life can be Too bad that many still don't see [Outro] Mary had a little clock that works in its own way Yet she never has another day
