Verse: D Well I met an old man walking down the street A7 D His clothes were torn and tattered with sandals on his feet And I stopped to help him and lend him a hand A7 He said I love you so much but you must understand Chorus: D Silver and gold might buy you a home A7 D But things of this world they won't last you long And time has a way of turning us old A7 D And time can't be bought back with silver and gold Verse: And he said to me let's rest for awhile A7 D For I have some good news to share with you child He said you can't change this old world A7 The people need to know that a dear Savior died here a long long time ago Chorus: D And silver and gold might buy you a home A7 D But things of this world they won't last you long And time has a way of turning us old A7 D And time can't be bought back with silver and gold Verse: D His eyes shown like diamonds and his smile was Heaven sent A7 D His hair was long and flowing and his back was slightly bent And I knew he knew it for that day I changed A7 And as I watched him walk on I forgot to get his name Chorus: He said.. D Silver and gold can't buy you a home A7 D When this life has ended and your time is gone But you can live in a world where you'll never grow old A7 D And things can't be bought there with silver and gold A7 D And time can't be bought back with silver and gold
