I remember daddys 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 daddys hands how they held my momma tight
And patted my back for somethin done right
There are things that Ive forgotten that I loved about the man
But Ill always remember the love in daddys hands
Daddys hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddys hands were hard as steel when Id done wrong
Daddys hands werent always gentle but Ive come to understand
There was always love in daddys hands
I remember daddys hands workin til they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over, Id live my life again
And never take for granted the love in daddys hands
Daddys hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddys hands were hard as steel when Id done wrong
Daddys hands werent always gentle but Ive come to understand
There was always love in daddys hands
Daddys hands were soft and kind when I was cryin
Daddys hands were hard as steel when Id done wrong
Daddys hands werent always gentle but Ive come to understand
There was always love in daddys hands
