[Chorus]
Daddy I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get out of that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name and your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a lot in my heart
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl

[Chorus]
Daddy I told you I was gonna fly
I'd get out of that town alive
Don't worry, I kept your name and your picture in a frame
Just like you, I got a lot in my heart
It won't let me fall apart
I'll always be your little girl
I love you more than this whole world
And daddy I told you
