Silver And Gold

In the style of

Dolly Parton

Lyrics

well i met an old man
walkin' 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 a while
'cause 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

and 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
is gone

but you can live
in a world where
you'll 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
