i found it in an old cigar box a timeless treasure my daddy forgot he put there a gold faced elegant pocket watch he carried in his overalls for all those years and i wound it up and i held 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 hundreth 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 well i remember plain as day the good lord callin' pop away and how i cried well 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 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
