  • 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.

    I loved my dad so much when my sister called me with just 3 word, DAD, AMBULANCE, HOSPITAL. I KNEW THEN IT WASN'T GOOD NEWS. MY DAD WAS GONE BEFORE I GOT TO THE HOSPITAL. The doctor said he was dead before he hit the floor. He was 62 years old up early to make his breakfast before going into work. He had retired from Maytag after putting in 30 years but he really didn't sound to happy just sitty around all day. So he worked for the public school system driving special needs kids to and from school. He loved those kids and they grew to become very fond of him as well.They all wrote very special letters to us telling us what a special man he was to them. Brought tears to my eyes.Dad's been gone 33 years and I'd still recognize his voice, his laughter, everything about him. They say time heals. I'll just say you learn to live with it. A I sit here and write about my dad, my eyes are too blurry with tears to continue. I'm 73 years old I lost my dad 33 years ago when I was 40.11 years later I lost my older brother, he was 54, and 11 years later, I lost my mom. She was 73. Sorry I took so long. I remember my dad and listen to Daddy's hands over & over. For my brother his wife chose Go rest high on that Mountain. and for Mom, we decided on Amazing Grace.
    As each of you go through your grief, I wish you God's Speed,

Worst thing I've ever experienced. I'm 45. I hope I have my dad around for at least another 10 years. I'm so sorry for all the loss you experienced and they were all still so young. God bless you and hugs from Pennsylvania. 💜

    When we left my granddaddy’s grave after the funeral, we had a 3 hour drive home. The song “daddy’s hands” played on the radio and my mom had to pull over. A swarm of whitish to light blue butterflies swarmed our car flying in circles around it. I’m talking tons! When we finally made it home and we got out of the car, there was still quite a few flying around us. I still can’t believe this happened, and it was around 20 years ago.

      I wish we had cameras back in that moment. The whole car ride home was silent..but the butterflies reminded us that it wasn’t just a sad day. It was also a happy day. My grandfather had made it home and was at peace. A very bittersweet day!

I lost him 2007 and to this day it tears me apart thinking about him. Missing him, and trying to figure out how to live without him in my life. He helped me to become the good, honest, caring and giving person I am today. I love you dad.

    My dad went to be the Lord 6 years ago today after a short fight with cancer. I remember kneeling by the sofa with my sisters singing this song together while he sat on his bed in the living room listening to us. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a tear roll down my dad's cheek. But it was not a tear of hurt, sadness, or suffering. It was a tear off joy. I felt like in that moment any doubt my dad had of how much we loved him and knew he loved us and how much he sacrificed for us growing up was gone. As our voices pulled through the lumps we sang as one for him. Less than a month later my dad was called to heaven. He is missed every day but on this day I miss him most add this is the day he left me and my sisters and brother. Love you daddy!

    Today has been 9 years since I lost my Dad to cancer. He worked hard, blue collar, and was just like the song describes. When I smell the scent of auto grease, it takes me back to when I was little and he'd come home from work with hands black from the grease and oil. The soap just didn't always get it all til he got home. I miss smelling that... We played Go Rest High On That Mountain at his service, When I Get to Where I'm Goin, and also this one. I sing this one, and Lorrie Morgans If You Came Back From Heaven. That one isn't father/daughter, but it's beautiful. I lost my fiancé on his farm 5 years ago. I was raised 'old school', and I always respected Dad. I raised my own the same (minus the switches and belt), they are all grown now (36, 29, and 21) and still get compliments on how well behaved and courteous they are. Ok, the 36 yr old didn't quite catch on, gave me grey well before my time, and is still a snot, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.... lol None of them ever ate a Tide Pod, or licked a public toilet seat though! lol (that still floors me that those people were raised w no common sense....lol) Whew didn't mean to ramble, missing Dad and my dogs don't say much back, so y'all get to hear it. ;) I hope everyone has wonderful holidays! We always set an extra seat, for those we've lost.

I had never heard it before then, but it made me think of my dad, and started crying my eyes out. To this day (I'm 36yr old now) I still can't listen to this whole song without crying some.

He was an amazing Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa and Great Great Gpa. 97 long beautiful years. Next week would have been my Grandparents 71st wedding anniversary. Im so glad we celebrated at 70th with a family reunion...they exchanged their vows again. ❤❤ my Grandma is 89 and still with us. Heartbreaking to see them separated. She has Dementia so she's not processing his death. I pray we can make her last years filled with love ... to fill his shoes collectively.... as he did on his very own. Incredible man.

I related to this song so much, as this was exactly how my father was. I have often wondered what the exact release date of this song was. I cry Everytime I hear this song, as it transports me back to that day, & my childhood with my dad. Thank You SO MUCH, MS. DUNN FOR RECORDING IT. Love & God Bless You All, & Those You Love, Always!

      Athrough Z It is so true about hurting us more than them. My dad never raised his hands nor his voice at us. He explained with a firm attitude about our faults. He was a strict man and worked so very hard to keep the family fed. He was the most tolerating person I had come across in my life. When he helped people, he never expected anything in return. Several of his friends whom we never met showed up at his funeral and praised him for being helpful and kind hearted. He even lent them money to start a small business. He never told us anything about it. We are very proud of him. Bless you dear dad. See you someday. xxx

    One of my grandmother's favorite songs. Said it reminded her of her father. Did not ever meet my great grandfather but it brings back lots of great memories with my grandmother, which leads to lots of great memories with all my grandparents. Still miss them all and they have all been gone for a while now. For everyone out there who still has their parents and grandparents around, go and spend time with them, you will not regret it later. I regret as I got into my 20's and beyond not choosing to go spend time with my grandparents and it is something I have to live with for the rest of my life. That is time and stories that you will never get back.

Seeing my father laying there in the casket looking 20 years younger (before Parkinson's Disease wore away his body), I broke down crying. He prided himself as being a "Do It Yourself-type" so for him not to be able to make use of his hands really broke his spirit.

    Beautiful song I lost my daddy just last month and I listen to this song almost every day since. My daddy was a kind loving caring man but he sure worked hard till the day he died and boy was he good at discipline lol. Makes me cry every time I listen to it. RIP daddy.
