The Best Day
[00:16.24] I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on
[00:24.22] I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
[00:31.65] Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides
[00:35.63] Look now, the sky is gold
[00:39.35] I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
[00:47.58] I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
[00:54.76] But I know you're not scared of anything at all
[01:02.73] Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
[01:07.77] But I know I had the best day with you today
[01:21.05] I'm thirteen now
[01:23.71] And don't know how my friends could be so mean
[01:28.49] I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
[01:36.46] And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
[01:43.90] And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names
[01:52.13] I don't know who I'm going to talk to now at school
[01:59.57] But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
[02:06.74] Don't know how long it's going to take to feel okay
[02:12.59] But I know I had the best day with you today
[02:22.15] I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger
[02:29.59] God smiles on my little brother, inside and out
[02:34.64] He's better than I am
[02:37.29] I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
[02:44.19] And I had the best days with you
[02:52.43] There is a video I found from back when I was three
[03:00.13] You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
[03:07.83] It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
[03:15.27] And Daddy's smart
[03:16.60] And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
[03:23.51] And now I know why all the trees change in the fall
[03:30.94] I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
[03:37.32] And I love you for giving me your eyes
[03:42.12] For staying back and watching me shine
[03:45.30] And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm taking this chance to say
[03:52.21] That I had the best day with you today
