LYRICFLUENTSilver And Gold Lyrics by Dolly Parton
Below, you will find the lyrics for Silver And Gold by Dolly Parton.
When I was a child I was taught that money
Even though it was necessary
Was not the most important thing in life
Kindness, tenderness, understanding, forgiveness, and love
Were the things of real value
Well, I met an old man walking 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
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 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 shone 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 has gone
But you can live in a world where you 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
