Daddy's Hands

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 caluses and lines years of work and worry had left their mark behind I remember daddy's hands how they held my momma 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 hand 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 [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 hand weren't always gentle but I've come to understand there was always love in daddy's hands [repeat]
