Glad to help.
Written by Gene Autry and Jimmy Long, 1931
Bravely fighting the battle of time,
Is a dear one whos weathered lifes sorrows;
Tis that silver-haired daddy of mine.CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
If I could recall all the heartaches,
Dear old Daddy, Ive 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,
Id give all I own, if I could but atone,
To that silver-haired daddy of mine.
To repay for those sorrows and cares,
Though dear Mother is waiting in Heaven,
Just to comfort and solace you there.CHORUS
