The Best Day

I'm five years old, It's getting cold, I've got my big coat on

I hear your laugh & look up smiling at you; I run & run

Past the pumpkin patch & the tractor rides; look now, the sky is gold

I hug your legs & 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 & don't know how my friends could be so mean

I come home crying & you hold me tight & grab the keys

And we drive & drive until we find a town far enough away

And we talk & window shop till I've forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school

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 & out, he's better than I am

I grew up in a pretty house & 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 & you're talking to me

It's the age of princesses & pirate ships & the seven dwarves

Daddy's smart & 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 & 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
