Silver And Gold

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 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 saviour died here A long long time ago and 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 Spoken: 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, for that day I changed And as I watched him walk one, I forgot to get his name He said 2nd Chorus: Silver and gold can't buy youa 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
