In a vine covered shack in the mountains
|
Bravely fighting the battle of time
|
Is a dear one who's weathered my sorrows
|
'Tis 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 those sorrows and cares
|
Though 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
|
