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 calluses 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.

Chours

Daddy's hands
Were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy's hands
Were hard as steel when I done wrong
Daddy's hands were always gently
But I've come to understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands.

I remember Daddy's hands
Working till' they bleed.
Sacrificed himselfishly just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over
I'd live my llife again,
and never take for granted
the love in Daddy's hands.

Chours (2x)
Daddy's hands
Were soft and kind when i was crying
Daddy's hands
Were hard as steel when I done wrong
Daddy's hands were always gently
But I've come t understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands.
