The Best Day

I'm five years old

It's getting cold, 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

C D G * Em

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall

C D G * Em

But I know you're not scared of anything at all

C D G * Em

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 find a town far enough away

And we talk and window shop

Til Ive forgotten all their names

C D G * Em

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school

C D G * Em

But I know I'm laughin on the car ride home with you

C D G * Em

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 talkin to me

It's the age of princesses

and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs

My Daddy's smart

And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

C D G * Em

Now I know why the all the trees change in the fall

C D G * Em

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong

C D G * Em

And I love you for giving me your eyes, staying back and watching me shine

C D G * Em

And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin this chance to say

I had the best day with you today
