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 callouses and lines
Years of fightin' 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 that man
But I'll always remember
The love in Daddy's hands

Chorus:
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I was wrong
Daddy's hands weren't gently but I've come understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands

I remember Daddy's hands
Trainin' 'till they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly
Just to keep us all safe
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 crying
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I was wrong
Daddy's hands weren't gently but I've come understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was crying
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I was wrong
Daddy's hands weren't gently but I've come understand
There was always love in Daddy's hands
