I learned from you

In following the tradition of songs for daddy's and daughters, I have found another song that I absolutely love. This song is by Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus called "I Learned From You." I've posted the lyrics and a video below. The lyrics are inspiring and really show everything a little girl learns from her daddy. I know my dad has taught me so much in my life, I would really be lost without him. Every girl looks up to her dad and needs him there, even when they become a teenager and don't think they need him anymore. I know there have been times when I felt like my dad was punishing me for "stupid' stuff and he was just trying to ruin my fun, but now I see he did it all so I would grow up to be the person that I am today. As a common theme in children's literature and songs, little girls need their daddies forever.

Lyrics:
[Miley]
Ooooo
Yeah
I didn't wanna listen to what you were sayin'
I thought that I knew all I need to know
I didn't realize that somewhere inside me
I knew you were right but I couldn't say so

I can take care of myself, yeah, you taught me well

[Chorus: (Miley)]
I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin'
There's no question, that's a lesson, that I learned from you

[Billy Ray]
We always don't agree on
What is the best way
To get to the place that we're going from here
But I can really trust you, and give you the distance,
to make your decisions without any fear

[Both]
I'm grateful for all of the times
You opened my eyes

[Chorus: (Both)]
I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin',
There's no question, that's a lesson
I learned from you

[Both]
You taught me to stand on my own

[Miley] and I thank you for that

[Both]
It saved me, it made me,
and now that I'm looking back

[Miley] I can say

[Both] woooaaahhhh!

[Miley] Hmmmm... Hmmmm... Yeah!

[Both]
I learned from you that

[Miley] I learned from you

[Both]
I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose

[Miley] something you choose

[Both]
All of the reasons to keep on believin',

[Miley] keep on believin'

There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you

[Miley]
Woooaaahhhh!
I learned from yoooouuu

I learned that strength is something you choose
[Billy Ray] something you choose

[Both]
All of the reasons to keep on believin',
There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you

[Miley] yeah!

[Both]
I learned from you
