Daddy's Hands - Holly Dunn
Đôi bàn tay cha - đôi bàn tay khắc khổ, có thể chịu được mọi khổ đau, nhưng lại mềm mại và ấm áp che chở, bảo vệ những đứa con bé bỏng - đó là những gì mà bài hát muốn ngợi ca - về tình yêu vĩ đại của cha và cả sự ngưỡng mộ, thán phục, biết ơn của những người con. Tác phẩm là một trong những bài hát tiêu biểu nhất nói về tình phụ tử được viết bằng lời Anh.
Lời bài hát:
I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
Years of work and worry had left their mark behindI remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
And patted my back for something done right
There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
But I'll always remember the love in daddy's handsDaddy'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 handsI remember daddy's hands workin' '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 handsDaddy'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 handsDaddy'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.
