I had a dream about you. It was December in the afternoon..

mood: grateful

I will always love this song... There isnt a better one on the face of the Earth. I dont think I've ever listened to it once with out crying before the end.

I remember Daddys 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 Daddys hands, how they held my Mama tight,
And patted my back, for something done right.
There are things that Ive forgotten, that I loved about the man,
But Ill always remember the love in Daddys hands.

Daddys hands were soft and kind when I was crying.
Daddys hands, were hard as steel when Id done wrong.
Daddys hands, weren´t always gentle
But Ive come to understand.
There was always love in Daddys hands.

I remember Daddys hands, working til they bled.
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.
If I could do things over, Id live my life again.
And never take for granted the love in Daddys hands.

Daddys hands were soft and kind when I was crying.
Daddys hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong.
Daddys hands, werent always gentle
But Ive come to understand.
There was always love in Daddy´s hands.
