That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine

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
