Bill Anderson

I came home last night to a dark and lonely cottage

I took the wreath off the door and somehow I stumbled inside

I just can't I just can't I said live without her

Give me one reason to live now that my darling has died

And then five little fingers touched my hand

Five little fingers too young to understand

And there was a softness in my little girl's touch

That seemed to say daddy I need you so

And in five little seconds her five little fingers told me all that I wanted to know

I could tell her little eyes were full of questions

I tried to answer but all I could do was hold her tight

Forgive me forgive me I said for crying

But darling your daddy has got such a load on his shoulders tonight

And then five little fingers soft and dear

Touched me on the cheek and gently brushed away a tear

And I knew that in her own little way my baby was saying daddy I love you so

It only took five little seconds for her five little fingers

To tell me all that I needed to know

(Five little fingers too young to understand)
