In a vine covered shack in the mountains Bravely fighting the battle of time There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows It's that silver haired daddy of mine. If I could recall all the heartaches Dear old daddy, Ive caused you to bear If I could erase those lines from your face And bring back the gold top 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 to late, dear old daddy To repay for the sorrows and cares Tho' dear mother is waiting in Heaven Just to comfort and solace you there.
