[Verse]

^AI came home last night to a d^Dark and lonely co^Attage ^D I took the wr^Aeath off the door and so^Emehow I stumbled i^Anside I just can't I just c^Dan't I said live wi^Athout h^Der Give me o^Ane reason to live n^Eow that my darling has d^Aied And then five little f^Dingers touched my h^Aand ^EFive little fingers too yo^Dung to underst^Aand

[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]

I could tell her little e^Dyes were full of qu^Aestions ^D I tried to an^Aswer but all I could ^Edo was hold her t^Aight Forgive me forg^Dive me I said for c^Arying ^D But darling your d^Aaddy has got such a l^Eoad on his shoulders to^Anight And then five little fi^Dngers soft and d^Aear ^ETouched me on the cheek and gently br^Dushed away a t^Aear

[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]

F^Eive little fingers too yo^Dung to unders^Atand
