Reeves, Jim - That Silver Haired Daddy Of Mine Lyrics






In a vine covered shack in the mountains
Bravely fighting the battle of time
There's a dear one who's weathered life's sorrow
It's 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.

I know it's too late, dear old daddy
To repay for the heartaches and care
But 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...

    What a great song for daddy, and sweet voice of jimreeves thank you for sharing this song.

    This song is very poignant to me. It was on one of the two Jim Reeves records that my Daddy owned. Big, black, vinyl disks - remember those?

    Since I was little, I played the Jim Reeves records a lot. One day, my Daddy came in the house and I was listening to this song. He said something like “I’m your silver haired Daddy”.From then on, i connected that song to my Daddy. He’s gone now, but I still have the records plus digital versions of them.

    This song made me cry as a young adult and sometimes still does. I told my mom that I was listening to it and it made me cry. She asked me why I listened to a song that made me cry. I told her that it was stress relief to cry and I knew that that album would do it.

    Jim Reeves is my absolute favorite singer of all time.

    One of the best singers of all time. What a voice. A real shame he died tragically in a plane crash. I guess the Good Lord has his/or reasons but it still hurts that he took away Jim in his prime. When I get to heaven, I'm gonna have a front-row seat to a Jim Reeves concert. BTW, Gene Autry wrote and recorded this song.
