That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine

Simon & Garfunkel

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

Oh, I know it's too late, dear old daddy 
To repay all those sorrows and cares 
Though 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

I'd give all I own if I could but atone 
To that silver haired daddy of mine.
