Im five years old 

Its getting cold out, 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 dont know why all the trees change in the fall 

I know youre not scared of anything at all 

Dont know if Snow Whites house is near or far away 

But I know I had the best day with you today 

Im thirteen now 

And dont 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 forgot all their names 

I dont know who Im gonna talk to now at school 

But I know Im laughing on the car ride home with you 

Dont know how long its 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 hes 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 youre talking to me 

Its the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs 

And daddys smart and youre the prettiest lady 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 

Staying back and watching me shine 

And I didnt know if you knew so Im taking this chance to say 

That I had the best day with you today
