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 Hand 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 Hand Weren't Always Gentle But I've Come To Understand
there Was Always Love In Daddy's Hands
[repeat
