G              Em  

I'm five years old 

             C            D

It's getting cold, got my big coat on 

G           Em

I hear your laugh 

               C                D

And look up at smilin at you, I run and run 

G                Em

Past the pumpkin patch 

                C                    D

And the tractor rides, Look now, the sky is gold 

G          Em  

I hug your legs 

         C                 D

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

                     C        D        G  

But I know I had the best day with you today 





G      Em

I'm 13 now

               C                    D

And don't know how my friends could be so mean 

G           Em

I come home crying

                C         D

and you hold me tight and grab the keys 

G                Em

And we drive and drive 

                C        D

Until we find a town far enough away

G               Em  

And we talk and window shop 

        C         D

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

                     C        D        G

But I know I had the best day with you today 





Em        C

I have an excellent father

G              D  

His strength is making me stronger 

Em            C

God smiles on my little brother 

G                    D  

Inside and out, he's better than I am...





C              D                G              Em

I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run

              C         D 

And I had the best days with you 





G          Em

There is a video 

  C                    D 

I found from back when I was three

G            Em 

You set up a paint set 

       C                  D

in the kitchen and you're talkin to me 

G               Em    

It's the age of princesses 

    C                    D

and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs 

G          Em

My Daddy's smart

                         C           D                    

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

          C        D        G
