Lyrics Little Girl - Reba McEntire

Little Girl

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
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
