Story behind the song
i had a nightmare one night about my father fighting and me not getting to let him know i was still his little girl... so i decided to write a song about it.
that and i had a poetry project due in creative writing, so i figured why not.
Lyrics
(Verse1)-
Wrapped in Daddy’s arms, feel so safe and warm
He tucks me in and kisses me goodnight
Leaves the hall light on, morning won’t be long
I know everything’s all right
(Chorus)-
And I say “Daddy why is the sky blue?
Why does the thunder sound so mean?
Daddy, look what I can do.
Tell me, do animals dream?”
He says, “You know I love you
With every bit of my heart
I’ll always be here for you
Nothing can make us part
No matter what happens in this world
You’ll always be my little girl”
(Verse 2)-
Wrapped in Daddy’s arms with a diploma in my hand
He looks so proud of me
Leave for college soon to help me understand
Everything this world has to see
(Repeat chorus)
(Instrumental break = chorus)
(Verse 3) -
Wrapped in Daddy’s arms, he walks me down the isle
For the last time he holds his baby
Gives away my hand and forces a smile
As a single tear rolls down his cheek
(Chorus)-
And I say “Daddy, why is the sky blue?
Why does the thunder sound so mean?
Daddy, look what I can do
Tell me dad, do animals dream?”
I say, “You know that I love you
With every bit of my heart
You know that I’ll be a part of you
Even when my new life starts
No matter what happens in this world,
I will always be my daddy’s little girl.”
