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 fah-ah-ah-all
i know you’re not scared of anything at ah-ah-ah-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 forgot all their names

i don’t know who i’m gonna talk to now at schoo-oo-oo-ool
but i know i’m laughing on the car ride home with yoo-oo-oo-ou
don’t know how long it’s gonna take to feel ok
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 fah-ah-ah-all
i know you were on my side even when i was wrah-ah-ah-ong
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
