Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine

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 heartaches and cares

But We’ll soon hear the Archangels trumpet

And ascend to meet christ in the air.

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.

 

 

Children, obey your parents in the Lord:

     for this is right. 

   Honour thy father and mother;

which is the first commandment with promise;

Ephesians 6:1,2
