[Verse 1]
I died happy in my sleep
I died happy in my sleep
My children around and you looking down from

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Adlib]
Got time
We used to wind it

[Instrumental Interlude 2:00-2:42]

[Bridge]
Now the time stands still
We can drink our fill
Out of silver
That will never
Tarnish like we will

[Instrumental Interlude 3:17-3:43]

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 1 (reprise)]
I died happy in my sleep
I died happy in my sleep
My children around and you looking down from
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh it's tick-tick-tick-tick-tocking to the time
We used to wind it
