The Watch Songtext
von Johnny Devlin

Friends, I have a sad, sad story that I think you ought to know
It′s all about the watch that she gave me long ago
Just a couple of kids in love, going steady as can be
And she handed me the watch just to prove her love for me

Well, one day the watch stopped
Ticking and our romance was all through
Well, it made me awful sad and I never felt so blue
But I still have the watch and I treasure it with care
As I wander through the world, seems she's with me everywhere


It reminds me so much of her as I go from place to place
A gentle pair of hands and a very lovely face
Just a simple little watch and this is plain to see
But let me tell you, friends, this watch means all the world to me

Thought our love would last forever like a watch that don′t unwind
'Cause she was oh so gentle, she was always very kind
But somehow things don't work out just the way you want them to
But I guess I′m still not sorry that I fell in love with you

As it ticks away the second of the hours of the day
It reminds me of the times I would often hear her say
"I love you, my darling," and she′d kiss me tenderly
But she didn't know the heartache that she would bring to me

I have the watch (He has the watch)
I have the watch (He has the watch)
Well, I have the watch
