[Verse]
AI came home last night to a dDark and lonely coAttageD  
I took the wrAeath off the door and soEmehow I stumbled iAnside 
I just can't I just cDan't I said live wiAthout hDer 
Give me oAne reason to live nEow that my darling has dAied 
And then five little fDingers touched my hAand 
EFive little fingers too yoDung to understAand 
[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 eDyes were full of quAestionsD  
I tried to anAswer but all I could Edo was hold her tAight 
Forgive me forgDive me I said for cArying D  
But darling your dAaddy has got such a lEoad on his shoulders toAnight 
And then five little fiDngers soft and dAear 
ETouched me on the cheek and gently brDushed away a tAear
[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]
FEive little fingers too yoDung to undersAtand

[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
