[00:00.00] Title:Silver And Gold
[00:04.00] Dolly Parton
[00:08.57] Well, I met an old man walkin' down the street
[00:17.11] His clothes were torn and tattered
[00:21.71] With sandals on his feet
[00:25.40] And I stopped to help him
[00:30.20] And lend him a hand
[00:33.95] He said, I love you so much
[00:38.43] But you must understand
[00:42.02] Silver and gold might buy you a home
[00:49.42] But things of this world
[00:53.66] They won't last you long
[00:58.11] And time has a way of turning us old
[01:06.47] And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
[01:17.14] And he said to me, let's rest for awhile
[01:25.23] For I have some good news to share with you, child
[01:33.63] He said, you can't change this old world
[01:38.41] The people need to know
[01:42.34] That a dear savior died here
[01:47.12] A long, long time ago ,and
[01:50.25] Silver and gold might buy you a home
[01:58.09] But things of this world
[02:02.27] They won't last you long
[02:06.49] And time has a way of turning us old
[02:14.82] And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
[02:25.78] His eyes shown like diamonds
[02:29.99] And his smile was heaven sent
[02:33.39] His hair was long and flowing
[02:38.01] And his back was slightly bent
[02:41.82] And I knew he knew it
[02:46.91] For that day I changed
[02:50.93] And I watched him walk on
[02:55.62] I forgot to get his name
[02:58.83] He said, silver and gold can't buy you a home
[03:06.81] When this life has ended
[03:11.09] And your time is gone
[03:15.31] But you can live in a world where
[03:20.08] You'll never grow old
[03:24.11] And things can't be bought there with silver and gold
[03:33.57] And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
