Daddy's Hands

The way that you touched me made me believe
You never love any other the way that you loved me
When you said forever I thought it was true
We'd be together our whole lives through
Well, I got to hand it to you

[Chorus:]
You really had me going, stringing me along
You really had me going, baby
And now I'm gone.
You put one over on me said I'm the only one
You really had me going, baby
And now I'm gone

You never thought I'd see you in town
Walking and talking and holding the new love you found
You had the laugh when the joke was on me
But you're going cry when you get to see
The way that I love when I leave
You really had me going, stringing me along
You really had me going, baby
And now I'm gone.
I never saw it coming that you could do me wrong
You really had me going, baby
Oh you proved you're good with a lie
Are you that good with goodbye
You really had me
You really had me going, stringing me along
You really had me going, baby
And now I'm gone.
And now I'm gone, and now I'm gone

That dancing moon is on the water.
Do you feel inclined romantically?
If you do, I think you oughtta,
Love someone like me.
Ain't no place you should be goin'.
Ain't no need for you to leave.
It's a lovers' night, the stars are showin',
You need to love someone like me.
Someone else might try to find you,
But my love can set you free.
And if your heart has got a mind to,
You could love someone like me.
Instrumental break.
Don't need luck to find good lovin',
And it don't happen magically.
And, baby, tonight, oh, you don't need nothin
To love someone like me.
If you've been thinkin' love won't find you,
Well, honey, wait right here and see.
And if your heart has got a mind to,
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.
You could love someone like me.

Strangers again
Just like before
Not even friends
After bein' much more
Strangers again
And will be forever
It hurts when love ends
As strangers again
I always thought a stranger was
Someone I'd never met
But the one who passed me by today
I know too well to forget
We're strangers again
Back where we started
But we'll never begin
'Cause we're strangers again
I always thought a stranger was
Someone I'd never met
But the one who passed me by today
I know too well to forget
We're strangers again
Back where we started
But we'll never begin
'Cause we're strangers again
It hurts when love ends
As strangers again

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 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'd 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 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 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
