DOLLY PARTON - Silver & Gold lyrics

rate me

Well, I met an old man walkin' down the street<br>His clothes were torn and tattered<br>With sandals on his feet<br>And I stopped to help him<br>And lend him a hand<br>He said, I love you so much<br>But you must understand<br>1st chorus:<br><br>Silver and gold might buy you a home<br>But things of this world<br>They won't last you long<br>And time has a way of turning us old<br>And time can't be bought back with silver and gold<br><br>And he said to me, let's rest for awhile<br>For I have some good news to share with you, child<br>He said, you can't change this old world<br>The people need to know<br>That a dear savior died here<br>A long, long time ago<br><br>Repeat 1st chorus<br><br>His eyes shown like diamonds<br>And his smile was heaven sent<br>His hair was long and flowing<br>And his back was slightly bent<br>And I knew he knew it<br>For that day I changed<br>As I watched him walk on<br>I forgot to get his name<br><br>2nd chorus:<br><br>He said, silver and gold can't buy you a home<br>When this life has ended<br>And your time is gone<br>But you can live in a world where<br>You'll never grow old<br>And things can't be bought there with silver and gold<br><br>Tag:<br><br>And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
