That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine
Norah Jones;Billie Joe Armstrong Lyrics

In a vine covered shack in the mountains
A loved one, my father, lives in a humble abode surrounded by nature

Bravely fighting the battle of time
Despite the challenges that come with aging, my father perseveres

Is a dear one who's weathered my sorrows
My father has been a source of comfort and support through difficult times

'Tis that silver haired daddy of mine
I treasure my father for all he has done for me over the years

If I could recall all the heartaches
Looking back, I regret causing my father grief and pain

Dear old daddy, I've caused you to bear
I am sorry for the burden I have placed on you

If I could erase those lines from your face
I wish I could undo the worry and stress that has visibly impacted my father

And bring back the gold to your hair
I wish I could restore the vitality and youthfulness that my father once had

If God would but grant me the power
I understand that I cannot change the past without divine intervention

Just to turn back the pages of time
If only I could rewind and make things right

I'd give all I own, if I could but atone
I deeply regret my past actions and would do anything to make things right

To that silver haired daddy of mine
My father means the world to me and I want to make things right with him

I know it's too late, dear old daddy
I understand that I cannot change the past and that it may be too late to make amends

To repay for those sorrows and cares
I cannot make up for the pain and burden I have caused my father

Though dear mother is waiting in heaven
My mother has passed away but I believe she is watching over my father from above

Just to comfort and solace you there
I hope my mother's love and support will bring my father peace in his old age
