I'm five years old It's getting cold out I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh And look up smilin 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 But 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 13 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've forgotten all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school But I know I'm laughin 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 talkin to me It's the age of princesses and pirate ships And the seven dwarves My Daddy's smart And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Now I know why the 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 takin this chance to say I had the best day with you today
