There was a thread on this about two weeks ago with a link to a recording of the song by the Everly Brothers. Check the Forum Search.

THAT SILVER HAIRED DADDY OF MINE
Gene Autry/Jimmy Long

In a vine covered shack in the mountains,
Bravely fighting the battle of time
As a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows,
Is that silver haired daddy of mine.

If I could recall all the heartache,
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 sorrows and care
So dear Mother is waiting in heaven
Just to comfort and solace you there.

If I could erase all the heartache,
Dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear.
If I could erase the 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.

(Verse 1) In a vine-covered shack in the mountains,
Bravely fighting the battle of time,
Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows;
'Tis that silver-haired daddy of mine.

(Chorus) If I could recall all the heart-aches,
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 just atone,
To that silver-haired daddy of mine.

(Verse 2) I know it's too late, Dear Old Daddy,
To repay for those sorrows and cares,
Though Dear Mother is waiting in heaven,
Just to comfort and solace you there.

(Repeat chorus)
