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
But I´ve come to understand
There was always 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
