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
