Daddy's Hands (Re-Recorded)

Daddy's Hands (Re-Recorded) - Holly Dunn

Written by：Dunn Holly Suzette

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 crying

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 crying

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 crying

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
