Kendal franceschi, quentin powers
Daddy used to tell me
If I ran too fast Id fall and hurt myself
But the ice cream man would ring his bell
And Id get there before anyone else
Id see a puppy in the window
And Id run and press my face against the pane
And daddyd 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 thats 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 Im still chasing things that I cant have
Repeat chorus
Yes, Im still that little girl
Daddy I still havent slowed down yet
