Daddy's Hands
(Holly Dunn)

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 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 somethin' 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
Workin' '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.
