Father's Day SongsDaddy's Hands"I remember Daddy's handsFolded silently in prayerAnd reaching out to hold meWhen I had a nightmareYou could read quite a storyIn the callouses and linesYears of work and worryHad left their mark behindI remember Daddy's handsHow they held my Mama tightAnd patted my backFor something done rightThere are things I've forgottenThat I loved about the manBut I'll always rememberThe love in Daddy's handsDaddy's handsWere soft and kind when I was cryin'Daddy's handsWere hard as steel when I'd done wrongDaddy's handsWeren't always gentle but I'd come to understandThere was always love in Daddy's handsI remember Daddy's handsWorking til they bledSacrificed unselfishlyJust to keep us all fedIf I could do things overI'd live my life againAnd never take for grantedThe love in Daddy's handsDaddy's handsWere soft and kind when I was cryin'Daddy's handsWere hard as steel when I'd done wrongDaddy's handsWeren't always gentle but I'd come to understandThere was always love in Daddy's handsDaddy's handsWere soft and kind when I was cryin'Daddy's handsWere hard as steel when I'd done wrongDaddy's handsWeren't always gentle but I'd come to understandThere was always love ............ in Daddy's hands"My FatherMy father always promised usThat we would live in FranceWe'd go boating on the SeineAnd I would learn to danceWe lived in Ohio thenHe worked in the minesOn his dreams like boatsWe knew we would sail in timeAll my sisters soon were goneTo Denver and CheyenneMarrying their grownup dreamsThe lilacs and the manI stayed behind the youngest stillOnly danced aloneThe colors of my father's dreamsFaded without a soundAnd I live in Paris nowMy children dance and dreamHearing the ways of a miner's lifeIn words they've never seenI sail my memories of homeLike boats across the SeineAnd watch the Paris sunAs it sets in my father's eyes againMy father always promised usThat we would live in FranceWe'd go boating on the SeineAnd I would learn to danceI sail my memories of homeLike boats across the SeineAnd watch the Paris sunAs it sets in my father's eyes again"
