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 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¢¥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, 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.
|
|
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.
