the best day taylor s version

Taylor Swift

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
But 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 til I ve forgotten all their names

I don t know who I m going to 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 going to 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
