Daddy's Hands

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 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 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
