I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer  And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare  You could read quite a story in the callous' 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'd 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 workin' 'til they bled  Sacrifised 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  Repeat CHORUS  Repeat CHORUS & TAG
