 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,

 Daddy´s  hands, weren´t always gentle
 But I´ve  come to understand.
 There was always  love  in Daddy´s  hands.
