WARM HANDS


At Christmas, Angie Sung us one of her newest songs, I mentioned it before when I was talking about "the man on the boat". This song, makes me cry everytime I hear it. It is beautiful, and strikes a cord with a lot of people...The Song is called "Warm Hands" listen, love it...




WARM HANDS


My Daddy had warm hands….rough and dirty like a workin' man.Changing tires in a blistering storm, his hands would still be warm.


I remember his leather mits…he'd leave them on the living room chair.I'd stick my hands inside just to see if it was warm in there


My Daddy had warm hands.


And those hands fixed everything…everything but a broken heart.When the family was torn apart, they were outside fixing cars.


When we left him his face went dull. We knew he loved us despite it all.Watched his kingdom begin to fall. While his hands tried to hold up those walls.


My Daddy had warm hands….rough and dirty like a workin' man.Changing tires in a blistering storm, his hands would still be warm.


They would steam in the cold air. I can still see him standing there.Thick hat and a winter coat. Wool scarf wrapped around his throat.


My Daddy had warm hands.


As I begin to age, I understand how things go their ways.Sometimes this world demands a little more than warm hands.


My Daddy had warm hands… strong and steady like a working man.Though they've grown much softer now. I guess time broke them down somehow. They can still fix everything… right down to my broken heart. Even when they're out fixing cars, I know they won't let me fall apart.


My Daddy had warm hands….rough and dirty like a workin' man.Changing tires in a blistering storm, his hands would still be warm.


They would steam in the cold air. I can still see him standing there.Thick hat and a winter coat. Wool scharf wrapped around his throat.
