Analysis of The Clock of Life
At one o'clock I was born
At two o'clock I met you
At three o'clock I fell in love with you
At four o'clock I forgot you
At five o'clock I re-met you
At six o'clock I fell in love with you again
At seven o'clock I went on my first date with you
At eight o'clock I married you
At nine o'clock I went with you on our honeymoon
At ten o'clock I led you to the place we met
At eleven o'clock we kiss once, twice, and three times again
At twelve o'clock we had 2 kids
At one o'clock I died
