Lyrics
In a vine-covered shack in the mountains
Bravely fighting the battles of time
Lives a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows
He'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
Oh, 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
Many days you have toiled for the family
Providing for the needs of our home
And since God called our dear mother to Heaven
You've been fighting life's battles alone
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
Oh, 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
Now I know it's too late, dear old daddy
To repay for the heartaches and cares
But dear mother waits for you in Heaven
She will cherish and comfort 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
Oh, 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
