The Watch

Intro |------------------------------| |------------------------------| |--0-0-0--------0-0-0----------| |---0-0----------0-0-----------| |------------------------------| |3------------3----------------| I found it in an old cigar box A timeless treasure my daddy forgot he put there A gold faced Elgin pocketwatch *** He carried in his overalls 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 sitting '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 Well I remember plain as day The Good Lord callin' pop away, and how I cried Well it seemed like slow motion then 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 thin it won't run out but it will And only a woman can make time stand still And 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..
