The Best Day - Taylor Swift

I’m five years old 
It’s getting cold 
I’ve got 
A big coat on 

I hear your laugh 
And look up smiling at you 
And run and run 

Past the pumpkin patch 
and the tractor rides
And now The sky is gold 
I hug your legs and fall asleep 
The whole 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 that 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’ve 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 
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 
my Daddy smilled 
And you’re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world 

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 
Staying back and watching me shine on

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
