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
found a town
far enough away
And we talk and
window shop till
I've forgotten
all their names
I don't know who
I'm gonna talk to
now at school
But 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
And Daddy's smart
and you're the
prettiest
lady in the
whole wide world
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 didn't know
if you knew
So I'm taking
this chance to say
That I had
the best day
with you today
