  • Julie; GLAD YOUR DAD is back at your home. This doesn't apply here but the crying reminded me of a song Gentleman Jim Reeves recorded back in the dark ages ('50s or '60s), That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine.

    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
