G
I found it in an old cigar box
Cadd9
A timeless treasure my daddy forgot he put there
G
A gold faced Elgin pocketwatch
Cadd9 ***
He carried in his overalls all those years
Em C G
And I wound it up and I held it up to my ear
Em C D
And I listened as it ticked away the years
Em C G D
And it took me back there in his lap sitting 'neath an old shade tree
Cadd9 D
As he wound it for the hundredth 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
G Em C
You think it won't run out but it will
Cadd9 Em C D G
And boy, only a woman can make time stand still
G Cadd9 Em C D G
G
Well I remember plain as day
Cadd9
The Good Lord callin' pop away, and 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 G
Today I'm gonna tell that boy of mine
Em C D
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
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..
