The Best Day Lyrics

I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big coat onI 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 homeI 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 todayI'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 keysAnd we drive and drive

Until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop
'Till I forgotten all their namesI 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 todayI 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 youThere 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 worldAnd 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 andI didn't know if you knew
So I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today.
