Lyrics
Her watch is in the drawer now Where she left it long ago The hands stopped at a quarter To four, and now I know I wind it just a little But it never wants to run It sits there in the silver Like a memory of the sun Time won't tell me What I need to hear Stopped at quarter to four Stopped but still it shines Every hour I'm missing her And every hour is mine Let it stay, let it stay Let the old hands rest Stopped at quarter to four And I loved her best We had a Sunday garden And a kettle on the stove She used to check the minutes But she never checked the love Now the afternoon is quiet And the light is soft and low I hold the little watch face And I let the evening go Time won't tell me What I need to hear Stopped at quarter to four Stopped but still it shines Every hour I'm missing her And every hour is mine Let it stay, let it stay Let the old hands rest Stopped at quarter to four And I loved her best Some clocks are made to keep us Some are made to hold A moment in the metal When the day was gold Stopped at quarter to four Stopped but still it shines Every hour I'm missing her And every hour is mine Let it stay, let it stay Let the old hands rest Stopped at quarter to four And I loved her best And I loved her best Yes, I loved her best
