In a vine covered shack in the mountains Bravely fighting the battle of time There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow It'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. Instrumental I know it's too late, dear old daddy To repay for the heartaches and care But 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...
