Lyrics
Grandfather's watch has stopped to rest Wound it up and did my best Hands stand still but sun comes in Time will start again Rise and shine, steady time Every hour is yours and mine Rise and shine, steady time Broken things can still be fine Old man said, take it slow Good things grow the way they grow Hands may stop and hearts keep on Beating till the dawn Rise and shine, steady time Every hour is yours and mine Rise and shine, steady time Broken things can still be fine Mend it slow, mend it true Take the day and see it through Mend it slow, mend it well Time has stories left to tell Rise and shine, steady time Every hour is yours and mine Rise and shine, steady time Broken things can still be fine Steady time Steady time
