Daddy's Hands

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 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.

I LOOKED THROUGH YOUR WINDOW

I LOOKED THROUGH YOUR WINDOW,
THE NIGHT THAT YOU CRIED.
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING,
BUT YOUR WERN'T SATISFIED.

I GAVE YOU ALL MY LOVE
THAT'S THE BEST I COULD GIVE.
BUT YOU WANTED ME,
BY YOUR RULES TO LIVE.

AND I COULDN'T DO THAT,
I'VE RULES OF MY OWN.
NOW YOU'LL GO YOUR WAY
AND I'LL GO ON ALONE

I LOOKED THROUGH YOUR WINDOW
THE NIGHT THAT YOU CRIED
I'M SORRY YOU'RE HURTING
BUT YOU KNOW THAT I TRIED

I TOLD MYSELF I LOVE HER
I'LL WIN HER IF I CAN
BUT I COULDN'T PLAY BY YOUR RULES
AND STILL STAY A MAN

CAUSE I KNOW IF YOU LOVED ME
YOU'D SEE THE RIGHT WAY
AND THEN RIGHT OR WRONG DEAR
MY LOVE YOU WOULD STAY

I LOOKED THROUGH YOUR WINDOW
THE NIGHT THAT YOU CRIED
YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME
BUT YOU WEREN'T SATISFIED

I LOOKED THROUGH YOUR WINDOW
YOU KNOW THAT I TRIED
BUT I'M SORRY I SAW YOU
THE NIGHT THAT YOU CRIED.
