~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 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

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done something 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
