That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine Lyrics

In a vine-covered shack in the mountains
Bravely fighting the battle of
Time
There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow
It's that silver
haired Daddy of mine

If I could recall all the heartaches
Dear old
Daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could erase those lines from your
face
And bring back the gold to your hair

If God would but grant me
the power
Just to turn back the pages of Time
I'd give all I own if I
could but atone
To that silver haired Daddy of mine.

I know it's too
late, dear old Daddy
To repay for the heartaches and care
But dear Mother
is waiting in Heaven
Just to comfort and solace you there

If I could
recall all the heartaches
Dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I
could erase those lines from your face
And bring back the gold to your
hair

If God would but grant me the power
Just to turn back the pages
of Time
I'd give all I own if I could but atone
To that silver haired
Daddy of mine
