I came home last night to a dark and lonely cottage
I took the reef of the door and somehow I stumbled inside
I just can't, I just can't, I can't live without her
Give me one reason to live, now that my darling has died

And then five little fingers touch my hand
Five little fingers too young to understand
And there was a softness in my little girls touch
It seemed to say daddy, I need you so
And it only took five little seconds for five little fingers
To tell me what I want to know

I could tell her little eyes were full of questions
I tried to answer but all I could do was hold her tight
Forgive me, forgive me, I said for crying
But darling your daddy has got a lot on his shoulders tonight

And then five little fingers soft and dear
Touch me on the cheek and gently brush away a tear
And I know that in her own little way
My baby was saying daddy, I love you so
And it only took five little seconds for five little fingers
To tell me all that I want to know

Five little fingers, too young to understand.
