The Best Day

Lyrics

 * 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
 * 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've found a town
 * Far enough away


 * And we talk and window-shop
 * Until I've forgotten all their names


 * I don't know who I'm gonna talk to
 * Now at school
 * 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
 * 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
 * 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 didn't know if you knew
 * So I'm taking this chance to say
 * That I had the best day
 * With you today
