The Best Day

I'm 5 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 hugs your legs and fall asleep on the way home I don't know why all the trees change in the fall I know your not scared or 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 We drive and drive until we found a town far enough away And we talk and window shop until I forgot 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 OK 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 3 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 7 dwarfs Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lade in the whole wide world Now I know why 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 taking this chance to say That I had the best day with you today
