 x2
 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  up 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 edge of princesses  and pirate  ships
  And the seven  dwarves
 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
