I REMEMBER
DADDY'S HANDS
FOLDED SILENTLY
IN PRAYER
AND REACHIN' OUT
TO HOLD ME
WHEN I HAD A
NIGHTMARE
YOU COULD READ
QUIET A STORY
IN THE CALLUSES
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 SOMETHIN'
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
4 BAR
BREAK
I REMEMBER
DADDY'S HANDS
WORKIN' '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
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
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
