Lyrics of Mary had a little clock by Wang Wanzhi(wang wan zhi ge ci )

Mary had a little clock that works in its own way,

just another afternoon in May

Children playing birds were singing postmen said hello,

What if Mary wasn't late that day

Johnny was a lonely man who has not much to say

He's now on the roof to say goodbye

He was so in love with Mary when she was engaged,

Sadly he was not her fiance

So God I ask why today,

are they not dear enough to you?

Did they not pray?

Is that how you work your way?

Now I'm so afraid

To some it was one fine day,

to them the very end of life well that's their fate

So that's how people come and go

What's gonna happen no one knows

Johnny took a breath and quietly he jumped off the roof

What if Mary wasn't late that day

So God I ask why today,

are they not dear enough to you?

Did they not pray?

Is that how you work your own way?

Now I'm so afraid

To some it was one fine day,

to them the very end of life well that's their fate

So that's how people come and go

What's gonna happen no one knows

So God I ask why today,

well she had everything she dreamt of yesterday

But now the happiness subside

Will she rest in peace in her own grave?

Bout' him I dare not say,

he landed on her head and broke her neck they say.

So that's how tragic life can be

Too bad that many still don't see

Mary had a little clock that works in its own way

Yet she never has another day
