Grandfather's clock and Lover's concerto by piano and guitar

Duo by lute323 and his daughter, 3rd grader.
Combination between classic guitar and piano was not bad which I did not expected.

Text of songs:

My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor;
It was taller by half than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride.
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again,
When the old man died..　↓
My grandfather said, that of those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found:
For it wasted no time, and had but one desire,
At the close of each week to be wound.
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face,
And its hands never hung by its side;
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again,
When the old man died..
*Chorus
Ninety years without slumbering
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock
It stopp'd short, Never to go again
When the old man died. ↓ It rang an alarm in the dead of the night,
And alarm that for years had been dumb;
And we know that his spirit was pluming its flight,
That his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft muffled chime,
As we silently stood by his side;
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again,
When the old man died..
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro,
Many hours had he spent while a boy;
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know,
And to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door,
With a blooming and beautiful bride.
But it stopp'd short, Never to go again,
When the old man died.

How gentle is the rain
That falls softly on the meadow
Birds high above in the trees
Serenade the flowers with their melodies oh oh oh
See there beyond the hill
The bright color of the rainbow
Some magic from above
Made this day for us
Just to fall in love
Now I belong to you
From this day until forever
Just love me tenderly
And I'll give to you every part of me oh oh oh
Don't ever make me cry
Through long lonely nights without love
Be always true to me
Kept it stay in your heart eternally
Someday we shall return to this place upon
The meadow
We'll walk out in the rain
Hear the bird's above sing once again oh oh oh
*
You'll hold me in your arms
And say once again, you love me
And if your love is true
Everything will be just as wonderful
(*Repeat)

Performed by Sarah Vaughan

Hi! I did not tell you about this duo. My daughter's piano teacher suggested us to play duo in their piano recital. This is the tape at that time. I also played lover's concerto and moonlight with my Chinese American friend in a Christmas concert at college in USA. That's one of the reasons why I like these duo.

Oops, I just now discovered the lyrics in full. I had already noticed that the lyrics on the video aren't synchronized with the music. I already knew the songs (not QUITE as familiar with "Lover's Concerto" lyrics), and even have an instrumental arrangement of Grandfather's Clock on "Carl Moore's Music Pages" site, based on the version in 1950s on Peter Pan label.

Grandfather's Clock is one of five songs that can make me cry. Lovers Concerto right after gets me pumped, though!

I appreciate your warm comment. Grandfarther's clock revived in Japan a few year's ago, and it became a great hit.
