Propeller Planes
Intro then Verse
Bright and crisp, it’s early morning
My little boy and me have a plan
Headed out to the local airport
To watch the planes take off and land
Chorus
He asks me why they fly so high
I do my best to explain
He says “Dad lets be pilots and pretend,
We’re flying our propeller planes”
Verse 2
He’s growing up a mile a minute
Repeating every word I say
He watches everything I do
Then he does it his own way
Chorus 2
He tells me why they fly so high
He points as he explains
then we both laugh as we pretend
We’re flyin’ our propeller planes”
Bridge
Wish I could slow down time, stay right here and now
But he’s got mountains to climb, I’ll try and show him how
ain’t much else I can do, ‘cept be there for him
Teach him a thing or two, maybe just enjoy the view
Verse3
Down the road when he’s all grown up
He’ll test his wings and fly away
I’ll watch him go and say a prayer
Hang on to memories like today
Chorus3
He tells me “look Dad, I can fly”
There's no words to explain
There’s nothing better in this world than to pretend
We’re flyin our propeller planes
We’re flyin our propeller planes
