|
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 |
|
I'd give all I own, if I could but atone |
|
To that silver haired daddy of mine |
