My Little Girl's Gone
Peter & Gordon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shadow mouth sings of birds
This morning came to earth
Wrapped in another birth
And I'm higher than aeroplanes
And I'm higher than words can tell
And I'm higher than anything
The sun is on the rise
Ready to scorch the earth
My little girl has eyes
That light up her father's world
And I'm higher than aeroplanes
And I'm higher than words can tell
And I'm higher than anything
My little girl
We took the car
To the coast
And stood at the foot
As the cliffs towered over us
And I'm higher than aeroplanes
And I'm higher than words can tell
And I'm higher than anything
My little girl
And I'm higher than aeroplanes
And I'm higher than words can tell
And I'm higher than anything
My little girl

In the final verse, the father takes his daughter to the coast and marvels at the towering cliffs, using "higher" to describe both his emotional state and his physical position.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "And I'm higher than aeroplanes / And I'm higher than words can tell / And I'm higher than anything / My little girl."
