[Verse]
A D A D
I came home last night to a dark and lonely cottage
A E A
I took the wreath off the door and somehow I stumbled inside
D A D
I just can't I just can't I said live without her
A E A
Give me one reason to live now that my darling has died
D A
And then five little fingers touched my hand
E D A
Five little fingers too young to understand
[Chorus]
(Spoken)
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
[Verse]
D A D
I could tell her little eyes were full of questions
A E A
I tried to answer but all I could do was hold her tight
D A D
Forgive me forgive me I said for crying
A E A
But darling your daddy has got such a load on his shoulders tonight
D A
And then five little fingers soft and dear
E D A
Touched me on the cheek and gently brushed away a tear
[Chorus]
(Spoken)
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
[Outro]
E D A
Five little fingers too young to understand
