Dolly Parton - Silver And Gold 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
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 awhile
For I have some good news to share with you, child
The people need to know
That a dear savior died here
A long, long time ago
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
For that day I changed
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

I Love This Song and It's meaning.
My first encounter with Dorlly Parton's music was 1984, on my way from the Hospital at Oshodi Lagos Nigeria. Her music has never departed my inner conciouseness ever since that experience. Thought of you and your music create emotion and feelings I cannot explain. Good bless your talent and the gift of yoir voice.
Whoever dislike this stuff doesn't know shit about real music
My Nana and Mom would sing this to me as a child going through cancer and it always brought me peace
Sarah Angell
now that's just the truth... the message is powerful!
In my opinion, one of the best songs and videos ever made!
Very simple but very beautiful, that's all you really need for a great video.
