Daddy's gone away

And no one can tell me why

Mama's been so sad

Since Daddy learned to fly



Everybody brought food

And everybody cried

Nothing's been too good

Since Daddy learned to fly



Fun, we used to have

And the way we used to laugh

It's all gone away

Since they cut my world in half



Sometimes I think

I see him smile from the sky

But he never stops to visit

Since Daddy learned to fly



Everyone tries so hard

To ease my troubled mind

Guess, he's doing better

Than the ones he left behind



They tell me I'm not old enough

To know the reasons why

Clouds reached down from heaven

Daddy learned to fly, learned to fly



They tell me that in time

Everything will be okay

Life goes back to normal

Like before you flew away



They tell me you can see me

So I'm trying not to cry

But sometimes I can't help it

Since Daddy learned to fly



Learned to fly

Learned to fly
