[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Im five years old, its getting cold, Ive 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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I dont know why all the trees change in the fall
~#**************#~
But 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
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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 Ive forgotten all their names
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I dont know who Im going to talk to now at school
~#**************#~
But I know Im laughing on the car ride home with you
~#**************#~
Dont know how long its going to take to feel okay
~#**************#~
But I know I had the best day with you today
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And 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 didnt know if you knew, so Im taking this chance to say
~#**************#~
That I had the best day with you today
