I remember Daddy?s hands, ?Folded silently in prayer.
And reaching out to hold me?When I had a nightmare.
You could read quite a story, ?
In the callouses and lines.
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind.
I remember Daddy?s hands, ?How they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back?
For something done right.
There are things that I?ve forgotten
?That I loved about the man,
But I?ll always remember the love in Daddy?s hands.
Daddy's hands were soft and kind ?When I was cryin?.
Daddy´s hands were hard as steel ?
When I?d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands weren?t always gentle
But I?ve come to understand
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.
I remember Daddy?s hands working 'til they bled,
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, I?d live my life again,
And never take for granted the love in Daddy´s hands.
Daddy's hands were soft and kind
?When I was cryin?.
Daddy´s hands were hard as steel ?
When I?d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands weren?t always gentle

?When I?d done wrong.
Daddy´s hands weren?t always gentle
But I?ve come to understand
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.
