I remember daddy`s hands folded silently in prayer
And reachin` out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
You could read quite a story in the callous` 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`d forgotten that I loved about the man
But I`ll always remember the love in daddy`s hands
CHORUS
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 workin` `til they bled
Sacrifised 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
Repeat CHORUS
Repeat CHORUS & TAG
