Dolly Parton Silver and Gold song 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

Chorus:

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

But people need to know

That a dear Savior died here a long long time ago and

Chorus

(talking)

His eyes shown like diamonds

And his smile was heaven sent

His hair was long and flowing

And his back was slightly bent

(singing)

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
