Vaughan, Stevie Ray - Tick Tock Lyrics






One night while sleeping in my bed
I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together
On the same wavelength
And began helping one another
Now in this dream universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way

The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
The tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumblin' down

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away

I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me
The worst of enemies became the best of friends

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away

Remember that, remember that
Remember that, remember that

People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away
Remeber that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people
Time's tickin' away

Vaughan, Stevie Ray Tick Tock Comments
  1. A.... M....

    This is a phenominal Song..

  2. A.... M....

    Stevie Ray Vaughan is very much alive in our hearts and minds..Stevie is still with us thanks to u tube..What an entertainer and guitar genius..Jimmie Vaughan a great brother to Stevie and a sensational guitar player..were all joined as One in missing Stevie Ray Vaughan and keeping his memory with us every day..thank you all

  3. i.... C....

    My father wanted my brother and me to be like them.

    Father died early.

    Brother became a psychopathic violent, racist cop in New York City; so he's dead to me too.

  4. T.... D....

    Never has this message been so true as it is now, time is TRULY ticking away, as we fail to see,..................

  5. M.... B....

    Ain't no Tik Tok can top this.

  6. S.... F....

    Look at them two at 1:49 as kids...😪

  7. b.... ....

    Very cool and thumbs up liked. I miss Stevie, he was good people.

  8. A.... M....

    Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan are sensational legends..God bless Guitars and God bless Stevie and Jimmie Vaughan..This song represents 2 brothers in a Tick Tock moment..RIP Stevie

  9. l.... b....

    Did anyone else cry their eyeballs out when you first got this album? This album was released in September 1990, Stevie died on August 27, 1990. I was having a dinner party on the 28th. We all cried all through the "party". It turned into an Irish wake

  10. o.... ....

    Love the song but this has been edited. Thumbs down asshole.

  11. M.... ....

    Even though Stevie Ray Vaughan is singing 'Tick Tock, sadly he doesn't appear in the video with his brother Jimmie. Regardless Stevie's there in spirit. This makes me think of the video for 'End Of The Line' by The Traveling Wilburys. The video was filmed shortly after Roy Orbison passed on, but he was there in spirit as well.

  12. J.... B....

    Another beautiful man gone too soon

  13. J.... B....

    Whoo here on Halloween in new zealand

  14. G.... T....

    How the fuck does this song only have 224K views and not 224 MILLION?

  15. U.... S....

    So many people say "Where's Stevie?" in this video,,,In Heaven,Man,,in Heaven.. THIS was put together AFTER the man "left the building." My favorite album by him/them since the 1st time I heard it.

  16. E.... ....

    Beautiful song. I haven't heard this in years and just finished the Audible book, Texas Flood and was reminded of this song so I had to come and listen to it again. What a beautifully powerful song and the book is a wealth of information any fan of Stevie Ray will enjoy.

  17. G.... T....

    Anyone get through this without crying? If so you must not know about SRV

  18. T.... R....

    This VB song and Jimmie's 'Love the World' always bring tears to my eyes and make me think deeply of our past, present, and future

  19. G.... S....

    Little did Stevie know just how fast time was sadly ticking away for him 😓

    G.... S....

    I wonder sometimes if he did know. Stevie was very close with Jimmy. It's amazing to me that although they each had separate careers for years, the last weeks of Stevie's life were spent making this studio album with his brother, and his very last stage appearance was with his brother. It's almost like, for reasons we'll never understand, that everything happened just like it was supposed to.

  20. V.... H....

    Thanks for everything Stevie!!

    We love you!!

  21. R.... B....

    Dammit...

  22. M.... G....

    Wow!... This makes me smile. Sure do miss you, Stevie...

  23. J.... H....

    Unfulfilled dreams. Does that mean as humans we've failed. Get it together. Tick Tock, Tick Tock. We know the end, enjoy the journey.

  24. T.... ....

    This song was written by Jimmy. Polished off by Stevie. I always think about all the music that would have been if he hadnt of died in that helicopter.

  25. P.... H....

    What a beautiful place it would be if the world was like this. Maybe we'll get there in the next few hundred years... if we last that long.

  26. C.... ....

    This is one of my all time favorite songs, and it always will be.

  27. S.... M....

    The brothers made this album together because their. Mom asked them to...how cool is that?

  28. D.... V....

    Amazing! :-)

  29. W.... H....

    So brings tears to my eyes when I see and hear this video and song ! So happy they done an album together before Stevie's untimely passing , all I can say is the heavens are rocking fully and completely

  30. B.... B....

    Orang indonesia yang nonton like dong

  31. D.... P....

    we all know how great SRV was but Jimmie ain't bad either

  32. J.... M....

    Loved. Him

  33. H.... N....

    If seeing these childhood pics of Jimmy and stevie dont move you to tears....youre missing something in youre heart. Wow. Thank you for this upload.

  34. L.... D....

    How can anyone not like this song. I cry eveytime I hear it such an awesome cd

  35. T.... R....

    whose listen in 2019....Stevie Ray Is!! Love You Bro!!

  36. l.... ....

    This beautiful song is the true embodiment of what I truly hope for our world.

    One night, while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream: That SRV was alive. Peace out!

  38. J.... L....

    Jimmy Vaughan, This song and voice really nailed it. God bless you. SRV. Missing you.

  39. T.... P....

    Si sente l amore nei loro respiri

  40. C.... C....

    Much ❤🔥 from the Netherlands... true spoken!... transcending these days

  41. J.... D....

    When Jimmie says....The world lost a guitarist but I lost my little brother....
    This video says it all

  42. J.... F....

    Sure miss the days, continental club, Rome inn, Thornton st. Cronical Awards.... miss your gentle soul bud

  43. A.... ....

    I’m not entirely convinced this song wasn’t written by Michael Jackson. It’s just such a feel-good, beautiful song that makes me happy when I hear it.

  44. J.... B....

    Oh Stevie, thank you for the music. We still miss you. Rest in musical peace beautiful man ....... tears. XXX

  45. V.... L....

    This is beautiful

  46. P.... B....

    que hermoso! gracias THE VAUGHAN BROTHERS!

  47. C.... S....

    I’m bringing my guitar with me to heaven. I WILL jam with this legend one way or another! Gone way too, soon!

  48. V.... L....

    Imagine a world. With no color

  49. B.... B....

    YOU SIR ARE "SADLY" ☹️ MISSED
    R.W.G. 🙏🏼 "SRV" 🎸 .......
    HEAVEN ☁️ HAZ NEVER SOUNDED
    SO GOOD TIL YOU ARRIVED. 👈🏼 .....

  50. K.... F....

    A great guitarist & a singer Jimmie truly is, like his brother Stevie Ray.

  51. l.... ....

    This is utterly sad

  52. A.... T....

    Damn I love his music .

  53. L.... a....

    Rewind many times i see it top brothers in arms.

  54. L.... a....

    Preach brothers 2. 1 a spirit and 1 in flesh 1 in rhe same... I adore the groove in u times2

  55. A.... F....

    dang tis real good.hipnotic.my sort of stuff.

  56. A.... C....

    I never realized how similar Stevie Ray Vaughn and John Mayer’s voices sound.

  57. P.... M....

    I wantto know who and why 47 people gave this song thumbs down. you must not be listening to the words.!!!!

  58. C.... N....

    I still remember hearing the radio announcement, followed by this song. I was 8 years old. This year I turned 36, one year older than Stevie when he died. It's a strange feeling to outlive your idols/heroes. Stevie also died on my wife's 6th birthday. It's odd how those events sometimes sync up with life.

    Terrific & beautiful song. I just love it.!

  74. G.... L....

    I used to teach English as a second language. To teach my students listening comprehension, I would play songs for them. I would play short segments at a time, and they would figure out the lyrics. I used "Tick Tock" as 1 of the songs. It's sung very clearly and has a beautiful message, perfect for learning English. My students, from all over, really connected with it. I was happy to listen to the Vaughan brothers at work. 😉 🎤🎶🎸

  75. S.... B....

    Jesus Christ... Every time I listen to this song and\or watch this video, I cry...

    S.... B....

    August 27th 1990: Stevie Ray Vaughan dies in a chopper accident. SO VERY SAD!!!!!

    N.... L....

    Yea! I saw him live near Cleveland, Ohio just prior to the accident. He was awesome! Just blew me away when I heard the sad news.

    N.... L....

    He was murdered by an inexpierience pilot who flew smack dap into the side of a mountain in Alpine Valley. three other choppers had no problem because of their experience. Thios jack off never flew in the fog. What a shame that we lost arguably the greatest blues guitarist of all time.

  79. S.... G....

    The 22 people who disliked this song were either dickheads or psychos

  80. M.... M....

    I love this song and the video.

  81. C.... P....

    JUST IMAGINE IF JIMMIES FIRST LYRICS WOULD EVER COME TRUE...That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength
    And began helping one another"... AWESOME VIDEO & GREAT TRIBUTE TO HIS BROTHER...SRV.  LOVE YOU BOTH & KNOW SRV IS JAMMING WITH THE OTHER MUSICIAN ANGELS.  WE MISS YOU SO, SRV.  SO GLAD WE HAVE YOUTUBE & CD'S TO ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOU.

  82. N.... D....

    @ 3:58 look at SRV! Glowing like an " Angel" God bless his soul...*...He sure was a cute kid too! His soul was beautiful !!

  83. S.... _....

    3:55 Stevie Ray Vaughan w/o his hat! 😮

  84. M.... M....

    this makes me cry every time I see this. Stevie was truly the best guitar player in the world. not to mention he was the most humble person. he didn't care about $. it was always about the music and the love he shared he was truly an angel. I was fortunate to see him numerous times and was blown away every time.

    M.... M....

    m medina ...Boy he is my idol and if I could afford to go to Texas I would be there in a heartbeat!! RIP SRV

    M.... M....

    there will never be another stevie.  I don't care what anybody says.  I met tommy and chris last year and tommy still gets choked up about him after all these years. stevie was just a beautiful human being.

  85. T.... F....

    An eternal message to us Humans.

  86. K.... L....

    GREAT !

  87. J.... L....

    that is so true in many ways

  88. R.... N....

    Hermoso,talento y sentimiento por la humanidad!! Stevie se ganó el cielo...

  89. C.... ....

    That song makes me sad cuz it was the first new song I'd heard from him after he died.

  90. Y.... K....

    this should have 1 billion views not the shit of raps and bitches

  91. G.... B....

    A forgotten song and a lost message these days where brother bites against brother over ridiculous differences. We're but a whisper on this planet. Everything that's important is sitting right next to you. Sure wish there were more opportunities for these 2 brothers to write and play together.

  92. m.... j....

    Some think this song/sound is where John Mayer got much of his "inspiration" No disrespect to Mr Mayer, but i can see some validity to that opinion.

    m.... j....

    Absolutely! THIS SONG IS A CLASSIC!!

    m.... j....

    Stevie poops sound better than John Mayer's anythings

  93. C.... M....

    PATD should remake this song

  94. B.... L....

    1:01 is this pura fe standing on the right ?

  95. J.... D....

    LYRICS!!!
