[Intro]
[Verse]
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.
[Verse]
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.
[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.
[Verse]
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.
[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.
[Chorus]
N.C. until**
Daddy s hands
were soft and kind when I was cryin´.
Daddy´s hands,
were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
**D
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve come to understand.
There was always love...
In Daddy´s hands.
