| I’m five years old and it’s getting cold
|
| I’ve 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 don’t know why all the trees change in the fall
|
| I know you’re not scared of anything at all
|
| Don’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far away
|
| But I know I had the best day with you today
|
| I’m thirteen now and don’t 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 till I forgot all their names
|
| I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school
|
| But I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you
|
| Don’t know how long it’s gonna take to feel okay
|
| 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 he’s 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 you’re talking to me
|
| It’s the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
|
| Daddy’s smart and you’re 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 didn’t know if you knew
|
| So I’m taking this chance to say that
|
| I had the best day with you today |
