Daddy, Teach Me to Fly

As a little girl she climbed on to her daddy's waiting knees.
The stories and a kiss to help her sleep.
Visions of the sky like a lullaby.
Daddy one more story pretty please.
It's sunday afternoon to them to make their
way to grassy little strip not far from home.
One day told them both that 8 year olds looked
him in the eye and said daddy teach me to fly.
And daddy teach me to fly.
How I want to be like you a master in the sky.
I've been watching you forever, now I'll really like to try.
Daddy teach me to fly.
She already knew the basics from years of watching him.
His little girl was Changing before his eyes.
They flew everywhere together sometimes they would go all day.
She's a natural he would proudly say.
Waiving with a smile he winks, watched her taxi by.
The day had come to take her first cheque ride.
After all the time together and 3 logbooks full of
time there is no doubt about the outcome in his mind.
Daddy teach me to fly.
How I want to be like you a master in the sky.
I've been watching you forever and now I'll really like to try.
Daddy teach me to fly.
She still thinks about the father.
The man who gave her wings.
Though he's gone the memories still make her smile.
She's flying for a living now, she is where she wants to be.
She has a little girl at home just turning 3,
she says mommy teach me to fly,
how I want to be like you a master in the sky.
I've been watching you forever and now I'll really like to try.
Mommy teach me to fly.
O mommy O mommy teach me to fly.
