Kenny Rogers - Handprints On The Wall Lyrics






The wait turned into hours
Before you came my way
The smile that filled a daddy's heart
On the special day
The moment left me speechless
I didn't know what to say
Then you took your first breath
That took mine away.

Days go by so quickly
Summer turns to fall
Seems like only yesterday
That you began to crawl
So don't be afraid to take that step
I'll catch you when you fall
I don't mind if you leave behind
A few handprints on the wall.

I can't describe this feeling
Way down deep inside
The itsy-bitsy spider
Was the first thing that we tried
Patty cake, the baker's man
With your hands so very small
You could always stay this young
And I wouldn't mind at all.

Days go by so quickly
Summer turns to fall
Seems like only yesterday
That you began to crawl
So don't be afraid to take that step
I'll catch you when you fall
I don't mind if you leave behind
A few handprints on the wall...

  19. f.... l....

    realmente es un tema conmovedor, para los que tenemos hijos refleja totalmente nuestros sentimientos. Gracias por compartirla!

  20. J.... R....

    Funny how no matter your age, that you still at times want or need your parent even if it’s. Just to talk

    For all of my kids

    I have two boys and a baby girl. I know that one day I'll have to let them go!! I know it will be hard for momma to let her boys go but it's going to be especially hard for me to let my baby girl go. I've cried so much over this song. she's my only little girl. I want to be the only man in her life but I know that one day I'll have to give her to another. it breaks my heart.

  26. A.... G....

    I'm sure my son thinks this way about his daughter(Vistoria Longto)...

  27. R.... B....

    Thank you, Kenny Rogers. Nobody single song like you do. More than likely nobody ever will.

  28. C.... J....

    Gospel songs lyrics

  29. M.... M....

    I don't know why this song never surfaced the charts, it is truly one, any mother would cherish! When my son was deployed with the US Army, I played it at least one hundred times that week, and wished I could see those tiny handprints...just one more time!

  30. M.... W....

    u make me cry

  31. M.... D....

    This song brought a tear to eyes. I’m adopting a newborn baby girl. She’s not my biological child but I will love her the same. I love you little Beretta NicoleLynn.

  32. B.... ....

    This seems to be a perfect song for my son thanks Kenny

  33. D.... M....

    This song makes me think of my niece and her brother's. I have always been my niece's second mom. I have been there for all her first. She is now 8 my sister went on to have 3 boys after her. My youngest nephew will be 3 April 6th and I raised him for the first 20 months of his life then the lovely court system gave them back to her only to have them removed maybe 2 months later and put into foster care my heart aches daily missing them. I still look around my house waiting for my nephew to yell mom or cry for me like he still does to this day my niece has my heart and always will. I was a single mom to 9 children and every one of them have been a blessing to me. I just wish people would see the real value of their children. I by no means am the perfect parent but the one thing I will always do is have an open door for any child in need. Now I am a new grandma as of March 19th and I still long for all my kids. I still hurt for my niece and nephews. They do deserve to know where home is, they deserve their mother to wake up and be who they need her to be. I will thank her for blessing me with her children who saved my life, as they know they have. They gave me the strength to do the things I knew I needed to do. Every child is a blessing. Sorry so long

  34. L.... P....

    I miss my Lil girl

  35. C.... C....

    As I read the comments here and listen to these lyrics I realize that in so many ways we are all really very very similar in the way we feel about our children. There really are fewer differences than most of us imagine.

  42. C.... S....

    Going through a rough time with my 3 girls. I needed to here this. Thanks.

  43. L.... P....

  54. S.... M....

    Does anyone know whether Kenny is the one who wrote this? I had never heard this before.

    S.... M....

    Suzu M Scott Innes wrote this for his son Presley in 2001. There is also a recording on YouTube of Presley singing it when he was 8 or 9!

  55. C.... L....

    Dancing to this song with my father for my Quinceanera

  56. j.... b....

    this will be my song when I have kids

  57. N.... R....

    This song hits home for me. I have a disabled son that I gained custody of after a messy breakup. i sacrificed all to have him near me. my back is messed up from carrying him on my back. My credit is shot from me not being able to work because I wanted for him what I didn't have... A Dad... In any case he no longer speaks to me and tells people that he hates me. Its been the toughest 2+ years of my life. I can only hope that there is a divine force that can feel my heart.I am happily married with a new baby but this emptiness I feel without my only son is real. can't shake it,run away from it, or deny it. anyway thanks for posting the lyrics and letting me vent. Blessings

  58. R.... G....

    Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!

  59. s.... ....

    the songwriter had a version that was even better in my opinion, but he had a few extras mixed into it. Unfortunately he never released that version.

  60. T.... E....

    I'll truly remember you as the greatest love of my life.I always think of you.

  61. L.... R....

    Esta cancion se la dedique a mi hija en su sweet 16 .Te amo jasmine hija Mia

  71. T.... F....

    my son is 17 and going through that, what seems like to a mom, endless adolescence but this song had me in tears. I just keep replaying it. how I wish the years didn't go so quickly and he still leaves handprints on the wall of my heart.... ughhhhhh a great song. thanks for posting with the words.

    T.... F....

    Mine just went into the toddler stage. Its alot of work but i know he wont want to crawl into my lap for snuggles forever or howl with spot on his favorite movie (the good dinosaur) forever. It really does fly by. It feels like yesterday he was born and now he feeds himself with silverware.
