The years have been many the years have been long
A7 D7
But at last I'm returning to daddy and home
G C G
He's looking my way though he hardly can see
D7 G G7
God bless my old daddy he recognized me
C G
There's snow in his hair and I helped put it there
D7 G
A halo of worry and care
C G
As my daddy grows old he's more precious than gold
D7 G
For I cherish the snow in his hair
D7 G
His shoulders were bent with the weight of the years
A7 D7
I scarcely could hold back the flood tide of tears
G C G
He walked with a cane as he stumbled along
D7 G G7
Comin’ to meet me to welcome me home
C G
There's snow in his hair and I helped put it there
D7 G
A halo of worry and care
C G
As my daddy grows old he's more precious than gold
D7 G
For I cherish the snow in his hair
