G
I found it in an old cigar box
A timeless treasure my daddy forgot 
Cadd9
he put there
   G
A gold faced Elgin pocketwatch
                           Cadd9   
He carried in his overalls all 
        ***
those years
      Em                C         
And I wound it up and I held it up
       G
 to my ear
      Em             C            
And I listened as it ticked away 
   D
the years
       Em                 C       
And it took me back there in his 
            G                  D
lap sitting 'neath an old shade tree
 Cadd9                          
As he wound it for the hundredth 
                               D
time and spoke these words to me



        Cadd9         G
He said time waits on no one
       Cadd9         G
Like a train it just rolls on
          Em
It's more precious than gold
     C
With hands you can't hold
Continúa después del anuncio
             G         Em         
You think it won't run out but it 
C
will
      Cadd9     Em        C    D
And boy, only a woman can make 
          G
time stand still



G    Cadd9    Em    C    D    G


G
Well I remember plain as day
The Good Lord callin' pop away, and 
Cadd9
how I cried
     G
Well it seemed like slow motion then

I can't believe how long it's been
   Cadd9                      ***
Oh he was right, time does fly
  Em            C                
Today I'm gonna tell that boy of 
G
mine
     Em               C           
Pass daddy's words of wisdom down 
    D
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 thin it won't run out but it 
will
And only a woman can make time stand
 still


G      Em

And he said only a woman can make 
time stand still

G      Cadd9

I found it in an old cigar box
A timeless treasure my daddy forgot 
he put there..
