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
