Marty Robbins - That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine lyrics

rate me

In a vine-covered shack in the mountains<br />

Bravely fighting the battle of time<br />

Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows<br />

It's that silver haired daddy of mine<br />

<br />

If I could recall all the heartaches<br />

Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear<br />

If I could erase those lines from your face<br />

And bring back the gold to your hair<br />

<br />

If God would but grant me the power<br />

Just to turn back the pages of time<br />

I'd give all I own if I could but atone<br />

To that silver haired daddy of mine<br />

<br />

But I know it's too late, dear old daddy<br />

To repay for the sorrows and cares<br />

Though dear mother is waiting in Heaven<br />

Just to comfort and solace you there<br />

<br />

If I could recall all the heartaches<br />

Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear<br />

If I could erase those lines from your face<br />

And bring back the gold to your hair<br />

<br />

If God would but grant me the power<br />

Just to turn back the pages of time<br />

I'd give all I own if I could but atone<br />

To that silver haired daddy of mine
