'Tis that silver haired daddy of mine
If God would but grant me the power
And bring back the gold to your hair
To that silver haired daddy of mine
I'd give all I own, if I could but atone
Just to turn back the pages of time
Just to turn back the pages of time
I'd give all I own, if I could but atone
If I could erase those lines from your face
If I could erase those lines from your face
And bring back the gold to your hair
I know it's too late, dear old daddy
Is a dear one who's weathered my sorrows
Though dear mother is waiting in heaven
To repay for those sorrows and cares
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear
If I could recall all the heartaches
Just to comfort and solace you there
If I could recall all the heartaches
Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear
If God would but grant me the power
