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 fa...a...all
I know you're not scared of
anything at a...a...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 gone a
talk to now at schoo...oo...ool
I know I'm laughing in the car
ride home with you...ooh...ooh
Don't know how long
it's gonn a 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 fa...a...all
I know you were on my side
even when I was wro...o...ong
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
