~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
