In a vine covered shack
in the mountains
bravely fighting
the battle of time
is a dear one who's weathered
my sorrows
this'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
Oh, I know it's too late
dear old Daddy
to repay all those sorrows
and cares though dear Mother
is waiting in heaven
just to comfort
and solace you here
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'd give all I own if I could
but atone to that silver haired
daddy of mine
