I came home last night to dark and lonely cottageI took the wreath of the door and somehow I stumbled insideI just can't, I just can't, I said live without herGive me one reason to live now that my darling has diedAnd then five little fingers touch my handFive little fingers too young to understandAnd there was a softness in my little girl's touchIt seemed to say, Daddy, I need you soAnd in five little seconds her five little fingersTold me all that I wanted to knowI could tell her little eyes were full of questionsI tried to answer but all I could do was hold her tightForgive meForgive meForgive me, I said for cryingBut darling, your daddy has got such a lot on his shoulders tonightAnd then five little fingers soft and dearTouch me on the cheek and gently brushAnd I knew that in her own little wayMy baby was saying, Daddy, I love you soIt only took five little seconds for her five little fingersTo tell me all that I needed to knowFive little fingersFive little fingersFive little fingersToo young to understand
