American Songs - Daddy's Hands lyrics

rate me

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...

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 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

(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 hands weren't always gentle

but I've come to understand

There was always love in daddy's hands.

(Repeat 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 hands weren't always gentle

but I've come to understand

There was always love in daddy's hands.
