Daddy's Hands Lyrics - Leslie Phillips

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
