[Intro] “Dad, hold still”—I knew that sound The polish and glitter were already spread out A flower, a star, then a moon painted pink I just smiled and wondered what people would think [Verse 1] Somebody noticed the pink on my toes Asked why I’d leave the house looking like those I smiled like a man with nothing to hide “I have girls,” I answered with pride Little stars shining, a flower or two Tiny painted moons in glittering blue Some people may think it’s a strange thing to do But I am proud to wear something made by you [Pre-Chorus] My back and my toes became canvases to paint I’d smile and relax while you worked without restraint Time with my girl always passed much too fast But the colours may fade while the memories last [Chorus] Look what those hands can do Tiny loops and painted moons Turning ordinary moments Into something bright and new I’ve already seen the proof There are whole worlds coming through Luna, I can hardly wait to view All that you and your hands will do [Verse 2] I have watched in amazement as you crochet Making something beautiful loop by loop each day A tangled thread does not mean it has to end You loosen the knot and begin it again Your blonde hair falls long, with a life of its own Yet you patiently work through each tangle and comb You pause, you adjust, then you try something new There is patience and wonder in all that you do [Pre-Chorus] From yarn in your fingers to stars painted bright You keep finding ways to bring ideas to life What starts as a thought only you can yet see Becomes something beautiful for others to see [Chorus] Look what those hands can do Tiny loops and painted moons Turning ordinary moments Into something bright and new I’ve already seen the proof There are whole worlds coming through Luna, I can hardly wait to view All that you and your hands will do [Bridge] Maybe they’ll stitch, maybe they’ll style Maybe they’ll make someone hurting smile Maybe they’ll build what no one has planned There’s no telling what may grow from your hands They may hold dreams, they may help them mend They may reach out to a lonely friend Whatever you choose, whatever you do Those hands will make it unmistakably you [Final Chorus] Look what those hands can do I am proud of you right now Not because of where they’ll take you Or the dreams you might make true Every stitch and painted moon Leaves a little love in view And whatever waits tomorrow I believe in those hands and you [Outro] The polish may fade, but the pride still shines through I have girls—and one of them is you Luna, I can hardly wait to view All that you and your hands will do
