Intro

Verse1

]

 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.

Verse2

]

 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.

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.

Verse3

]

 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 hands, weren´t always gentle

 But I´ve come to understand.

 There was always love in Daddy´s hands.

Chorus

again):] >>>sung a cappella until ***

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.
