Daddy's Hands - Holly Dunn

This is a Country & Western song sung by Holly Dunn. The song is about a strict father who is very gentle and caring in another way.

The child who has grown up remembering seeing the calluses and blood on her father's hands due to the hard work as he was striving to keep the family fed. She then realised how she used to take her dad for granted.

Daddy's Hands - Holly Dunn (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 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 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 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.

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.

my dad is still alive but he has God with him in his life and this song also reminds me of the times i have came close to loosing him so thank you so muck for posting this

[JasAlf5959]

@armysister1000 You're most welcome. Very pleased to know that your dad is still alive and has great faith in God. Birth and Death are the paths of life though one brings joy and the later brings sadness. What saddened one most is when we took our loved ones for granted until it is too late. Warm regards, Jasmine
