[Dolly Parton - Silver and Gold lyrics]
Well, I met an old man
Walking down the street
His clothes were torn and tattered
With sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand
He said, I love you so much
But you must understand
Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back
With silver and gold
And he said to me, let's rest for awhile
For I have some good news to share with you
Child
He said, you can't change this old world
The people need to know that
A dear savior died here
A long, long time ago
And silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back
With silver and gold
His eyes shown like diamonds and
His smile was heaven sent
His hair was long and flowing and
His back was slightly bent
And I knew he knew it
'cause that day I changed
As I watched him walk on
I forgot to get his name
He said silver and gold can't buy you a home
When this life has ended and
Your time has gone
But you can live in a world
Where you never grow old
And things can't be bought there
With silver and gold
And time can't be bought back
With silver and gold
Walking down the street
His clothes were torn and tattered
With sandals on his feet
And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand
He said, I love you so much
But you must understand
Silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back
With silver and gold
And he said to me, let's rest for awhile
For I have some good news to share with you
Child
He said, you can't change this old world
The people need to know that
A dear savior died here
A long, long time ago
And silver and gold might buy you a home
But things of this world
They won't last you long
And time has a way of turning us old
And time can't be bought back
With silver and gold
His eyes shown like diamonds and
His smile was heaven sent
His hair was long and flowing and
His back was slightly bent
And I knew he knew it
'cause that day I changed
As I watched him walk on
I forgot to get his name
He said silver and gold can't buy you a home
When this life has ended and
Your time has gone
But you can live in a world
Where you never grow old
And things can't be bought there
With silver and gold
And time can't be bought back
With silver and gold
