Reeves jim that silver haired daddy of mine lyrics

In a vine-covered shack in the mountains 

 Bravely fighting the battle of Time 

 There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow 

 It'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 

  

 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 the heartaches and care 

 But 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
