The Best Day

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 why all the trees change in the fall-a-all
I know that your 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've 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 gonna talk to now at school-o-ool
I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you-u
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 little house where 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

Now I know why
All the trees change in the fall-a-all
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong-a-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
