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
