Daddy
B.o.B Lyrics

I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
I have fond memories of my father's hands, clasped together in a quiet prayer, showing his deep faith and devotion.

And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
His hands would comfortingly reach out to embrace me whenever I had a scary dream, providing a sense of safety and protection.

You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
His hands, weathered from years of toil and worry, told a tale of determination, hard work, and the burdens he carried.

Years of work and worry had left their mark behind
The years of labor and anxiety had left visible traces on his hands, serving as a testament to his dedication and commitment.

I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
I have vivid memories of how his hands would tightly embrace my mother, displaying his love and devotion in their bond.

And patted my back for something done right
He would pat my back affectionately whenever I achieved something or accomplished a task successfully, showing his pride and encouragement.

There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
Over time, I may have forgotten certain aspects I adored about my father, but they still hold a special place in my heart.

But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands
Above all, what will forever remain etched in my memory is the profound love that radiated from my father's hands.

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
When I was upset and shedding tears, my father's hands would be gentle and comforting, providing solace and understanding.

Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
However, when I made mistakes or misbehaved, his hands would firm up, conveying a stern yet loving approach to correcting me.

Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
While his hands may not have always displayed gentleness, I have come to realize that it was a manifestation of his unwavering commitment to my well-being and growth.

There was always love in daddy's hands
Regardless of the situation or circumstance, I can now comprehend that there was an unwavering presence of love residing within my father's hands.
