Five Little Fingers
Written and recorded by Bill Anderson
G C G C
I came home last night to a dark and lonely cottage
G D7 G
I took the wreath off the door and somehow I stumbled inside
C G C
I just can't I just can't I said live without her
G D7 G
Give me one reason to live now that my darling has died
C G
And then five little fingers touched my hand
D7 C G
Five little fingers too young to understand
Spoken:
And there was a softness in my little girl's touch
C
That seemed to say daddy I need you so
D7 C
And in five little seconds her five little fingers
G
Told me all that I wanted to know
C G C
I could tell her little eyes were full of questions
G D7 G
I tried to answer but all I could do was hold her tight
C G C
Forgive me forgive me I said for crying
G D7 G
But darling your daddy has got such a load on his shoulders tonight
C G
And then five little fingers soft and dear
D7 C G
Touched me on the cheek and gently brushed away a tear
Spoken:
And I knew that in her own little way
C
My baby was saying daddy I love you so
D7 C
It only took five little seconds for her five little fingers
G
To tell me all that I needed to know
D7 C G
(Five little fingers too young to understand)
