I'm five years old
It's getting cold out
I've Got my big coat on


I hear your laugh
And look up at smilin 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
But 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 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


And we drive and drive
Until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop
Til i forgotten all their names


I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughin
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 strengh 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 talkin to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarves
My Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world


Now I know why the 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 takin this chance to say
I had the best day with you today
