Daddy's gone away and no one can tell me why Mommy's been so sad since Daddy learned to fly Everyone brought food and everybody cried Nothing's been too good since Daddy learned to fly The fun we used to have and the way we used to laugh Have all gone away since they cut my world in half But sometimes I can see him smiling from the sky But he never stops to visit since Daddy learned to fly Everyone tries so hard to ease my troubled mind I guess he's doing better than the ones he left behind They say that I'm not old enough to know the reasons why The clouds reached down from heaven and Daddy learned to fly They tell me that in time everything will be ok Life gets back to normal like before he flew away They say he can see me so I'm trying not to cry But sometimes I can't help it since Daddy learned to fly
