Dolly Parton - Silver & Gold Lyrics
Well, I met an old man walkin down the streetHis clothes were torn and tatteredWith sandals on his feetAnd I stopped to help himAnd lend him a handHe said, I love you so muchBut you must understand1st chorus:Silver and gold might buy you a homeBut things of this worldThey wont last you longAnd time has a way of turning us oldAnd time cant be bought back with silver and goldAnd he said to me, lets rest for awhileFor I have some good news to share with you, childHe said, you cant change this old worldThe people need to knowThat a dear savior died hereA long, long time agoRepeat 1st chorusHis eyes shown like diamondsAnd his smile was heaven sentHis hair was long and flowingAnd his back was slightly bentAnd I knew he knew itFor that day I changedAs I watched him walk onI forgot to get his name2nd chorus:He said, silver and gold cant buy you a homeWhen this life has endedAnd your time is goneBut you can live in a world whereYoull never grow oldAnd things cant be bought there with silver and goldTag:And time cant be bought back with silver and gold
