I scarcely could hold back the flood tide of tears
He walked with a cane as he hurried along
God bless my old daddy he recognize me
His shoulders were bent with the weight of the years
A halo of worry and care
Comin' to meet me to welcome me home
There's snow in his hair and I helped to put it there
A halo of worry and care
He's looking my way though he hardly can see
As my daddy grows old he's more precious than gold
For I cherish the snow in his hair
There's snow in his hair and I helped to put it there
As my daddy grows old he's more precious than gold
