Im five years old Its getting cold out, got my big coat on I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you I run and run, past the pumpkin patch, and the tractor rides Look now, the sky is gold I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
I dont know why all the trees change in the fall I know youre not scared of anything at all Dont know if Snow Whites house is near or far away But I know I had the best day with you today
Im thirteen now And dont know how my friends could be so mean I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away And we talk and window shop til I forgot all their names
I dont know who Im gonna talk to now at school But I know Im laughing on the car ride home with you Dont know how long its gonna take to feel ok But I know I had the best day with you today
I have an excellent father His strength is making me stronger God smiles on my little brother Inside and out hes better than I am I grew up in a pretty house And I had space to run And I had the best days with you
There is a video I found from back when I was three You set up a paint set in the kitchen and youre talking to me Its the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs And daddys smart and youre the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why all the trees change in the fall I know you were on my side even when I was wrong And I love you for giving me your eyes Staying back and watching me shine And I didnt know if you knew so Im taking this chance to say That I had the best day with you today
