I FOUND IT
IN AN OLD CIGAR BOX
A TIMELESS TREASURE
MY DADDY FORGOT
HE PUT THERE
A GOLD-FACE ELGIN
POCKET WATCH
HE CARRIED
IN HIS OVERALLS
FOR ALL THOSE YEARS
AND I WOUND IT UP
AND I HELD IT UP
TO MY EAR
AND I LISTENED
AS IT TICKED AWAY
THE YEARS
AND IT TOOK ME BACK
THERE IN HIS LAP
SITTIN' 'NEATH
AN OLD SHADE TREE
AS HE WOUND IT
FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME
AND SPOKE
THESE WORDS TO ME
HE SAID TIME
WAITS ON NO ONE
LIKE A TRAIN
IT JUST ROLLS ON
IT'S MORE PRECIOUS
THAN GOLD
WITH HANDS
YOU CAN'T HOLD
YOU THINK IT WON'T
RUN OUT
BUT IT WILL
AND BOY
ONLY A WOMAN
CAN MAKE
TIME STAND STILL
4 BAR
BREAK
WELL I REMEMBER
PLAIN AS DAY
THE GOOD LORD CALLIN'
POP AWAY
AND HOW I CRIED
OH IT SEEMED LIKE
SLOW MOTION THEN
NOW I CAN'T BELIEVE
HOW LONG IT'S BEEN
OH HE WAS RIGHT
TIME DOES FLY
TODAY I'M GONNA TELL
THAT BOY OF MINE
PASS DADDY'S WORDS
OF WISDOM
DOWN THE LINE
THAT TIME
WAITS ON NO ONE
LIKE A TRAIN
IT JUST ROLLS ON
IT'S MORE PRECIOUS
THAN GOLD
WITH HANDS
YOU CAN'T HOLD
YOU THINK IT WON'T
RUN OUT
BUT IT WILL
AND ONLY A WOMAN
CAN MAKE
TIME STAND STILL
YEAH HE SAID
ONLY A WOMAN
CAN MAKE
TIME STAND STILL
I FOUND IT
IN AN OLD CIGAR BOX
A TIMELESS TREASURE
MY DADDY FORGOT
HE PUT THERE
