That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine Lyrics - Live 1969 - Simon And Garfunkel

That 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. 

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, 

Photos 

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.
