1. |
Daddy and I never saw eye to eye |
|
I was wrong and never knew why* |
|
He said, "Low." I said, "High." |
|
He said, "Stay," and I said,
"Good bye." 'cause |
|
|
chorus |
I Wanted to Fly, I wanted
to soar |
|
I needed to find out what was outside my* front door |
|
I wanted to leave*. I had to be free |
|
His love was my lock, my leash,
a load that's too heavy for me |
|
|
2. |
Sometimes we get old and never get wise |
|
I saw anger in Daddy's eyes |
|
I never saw love*. I never saw pride |
|
And it stayed that way till the day that
he died |
|
|
bridge |
I cried for my dad, but he didn’t know it. |
|
Mom said he loved me, and wanted to show it |
|
So he tried to protect me, but I couldn't breathe* |
|
Then one night, in a dream, Daddy said
to me |
|
|
chorus |
I knew you could fly. I knew you could
soar. |
|
You already had the key to unlock that
door |
|
I knew you would leave*. You were already
free. |
|
My love was your heart, your soul, your wings.
You didn't see. |
|
|
coda |
His love was my heart, my soul, my wings. Now I see. |
