I´m five years old, 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 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 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 ´til I´ve forgotten 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 And Daddy´s smart and you´re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world And 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 For staying back and watching me shine And I didn´t know if you knew, so I´m takin´ this chance to say That I had the best day with you today
