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

I have known and sung that song when I was a boy in my teens. Now I am near seventy years old myself and it hasn't lost its appeal for me across the years. I would like my grandchildren to have a chance to hear it also. How can this be arranged? is there a CD in existence? and who is the artist? Kindest regards, Dieter Klier
