Daddy's Hands Lyrics

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 caluses and lines
years of work and worry had left their mark behind

I remember daddy's hands how they held my momma 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

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
(repeat)

I was 34 when my dad passed away in 1992. I don't have many regrets but if I could have known that he would go as young as he was, only 69, there are things I would have done with him and my mother who died when I was 49. It was shortly before my dad passed away that Holly came out with this song and it really stuck with me. My dad was my best friend and pal. We worked well together and had a lot of fun together. I would like to say to anyone who reads this, don't wait till they are gone cause by then it's too late.

I lost my father 10 years ago, however every time I hear this song my eyes water up .... I love this song so very much and I loved my dad unconditionally. He loved me back and what a great feeling that was. He was my step-father but he was just daddy to me!

My dad died 13 years ago today and I miss him as much now as I did then. My daughter played this song at her wedding in memory of my daddy and her and her daddy danced to it. Love you daddy!
