Little Girl

(kendal franceschi, quentin powers)



Daddy used to tell me

If i ran too fast i'd fall and hurt myself

But the ice cream man would ring his bell

And i'd get there before anyone else



I'd see a puppy in the window

And i'd run and press my face against the pane

And daddy'd say slow down girl

After all these years i guess  nothing has changed



Chorus:

That little girl i knew

Ran after you

But she fell this time

And broke her heart in two

Hey that's just like a little girl i knew



Back home there stands an old house

With a picket fence beneath a big oak tree

I can almost see the backyard

And a little girl with freckles

That was me



And there were dreams of toys and storybooks and

Lord it seemed i wanted them so bad

Now 20 years have come and gone

And i'm still chasing things that i can't have



Repeat chorus



Yes, i'm still that little girl



Daddy i still haven't slowed down yet
