Holly Dunn - Daddy's Hands lyrics

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 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 something 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

[chorus]

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 hand weren't always gentle but I've come to understand

there was always love in daddy's hands

I remember daddy's hands working 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

[chorus]

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 hand weren't always gentle but I've come to understand

there was always love in daddy's hands

[repeat]
