Noel, Angi & Noela
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.
Rosie & Sonny
I remember Daddy's hands, how they held my Mama tight
And patted my back for something I'd done right.
There are things I've forgotten that I loved about that man,
But I'll always remember the love in Daddy's hands.
Noel & Noela
Daddy's hands, were soft and kind when I was crying.
Daddy's hands, were hard as steal 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.
Sonny
I remember Daddy's hands working till 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.
Angi & Sonny
