The Best Day Lyrics
Im five years old
Its getting cold out, 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 dont know why all the trees change in the fall
I know youre not scared of anything at all
Dont know if Snow Whites house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
Im thirteen now
And dont 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 forgot all their names
I dont know who Im gonna talk to now at school
But I know Im laughing on the car ride home with you
Dont know how long its gonna take to feel ok
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 hes 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 youre talking to me
Its the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And daddys smart and youre 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
And I didnt know if you knew so Im taking this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today
Its getting cold out, 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 know youre not scared of anything at all
Dont know if Snow Whites house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
And dont 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 forgot all their names
But I know Im laughing on the car ride home with you
Dont know how long its gonna take to feel ok
But I know I had the best day with you today
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out hes 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
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and youre talking to me
Its the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And daddys smart and youre the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
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
And I didnt know if you knew so Im taking this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today

This song is so meaningful and simple. I'm nearly fifteen and even I know that if I'm a mom some day and my child writes this sort of song for me, I'll bawl like a baby. It's so beautiful. I love the line, "I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean."
I know this may seem long, but please read on. It's worth it I promise. This song states how I feel about the mistakes I made with my dad, with my stepmother, with my little brother. I went away at Christmas Eve to go live with my mum. We were the closest of families, all loved each other very much. I never saw any of them again, just lived alone with just my mum and her boyfriend. Were not a family, we even eat seperately, it's horrible.

A few weeks after I left my dads family, my stepmum found out...
A few weeks after I left my dads family, my stepmum found out she had a brain tumour. It was the most stressfull time for my little brother and my dad and I wasn't there to support them, it was such an awful thing I did completely walking out of their lives at a time like that. She had an operation to remove it and thank god she's alive and well.
That was back in December, now 5 months on, today I came back to visit them. I had the most wonderful day, remembering what it used to be like in this house, the 4 of us, and how back then was the last time I was truly happy. It's 3am and I'm listening to this song. It's about today, how it was the best day to spend with my family who I miss so much.
The lyrics "I'm 13 now. 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 from back when I was 3. Daddy is smart and my stepmums the prettiest lady in the whole wide world. I know you were on my side even when I was wrong. My dad did give me my eyes. You stood back and watched me shine, and I know you were on my side even when I was wrong." are all 100% true.
I may not see my family again for another long period of time, but this song makes me so grateful for today, after how I behaved. Karma comes back around, 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 Staying back and watching me shine And I didnt know if you knew so Im taking this chance to say That I had the best day with you today
I absolutely love this song. My mom died when I was 16 and this song is everything I would want her to know. She was and continues to be my hero.
i love my mum so much!!! this song always makes me think about the things she does that i dont eeven realise at the time. "I know you were on my side even when I was wrong" this is one of my favourite lines, because a lot of the time you don't realise it until you look back and realise that she was always there for you. i can relate to most of this song (apart from come home crying (coz i dont cry infront of ppl) and window shopping (coz i dont like to shop)) my mum means the world to me and i just don't tell her enough how much she ,eans to me. I love this song!! :)
I love love love this song.
I'm at college and listening to this just makes me miss my mom a little bit more.
Plus I have her eyes :)
Whos eyes... Taylors or your mums?...
Whos eyes... Taylors or your mums?...
I think this is such a sweet song. It's basically an ode to her mom. She also mentions how lucky she is to have a good father and brother.
In the first verse, she talks like she's a five year old, and for each time she mentions her age, she talks like she's that age.
I don't think it's the catchiest on the album, but it is one of the most unique sounding.
listening to this song for the first time is like when i saw the notebook for the first time, haha. this song is beautiful.
"God smiles on my little brother Inside and out hes better than I am"
that line got me. i love this song.
i can't really relate, my parents were nothing like that. but this song's great. <3
this song means so much to me. my mom was sick for a long time and she just lost her battle. she was my inspiration. and my daddy's stregth is making me strong. and i look just like my mom. i cried so much when i listened to it after she passed. my mom was so beautiful.
This song is beautiful, it sends shivers down my spine..
This is about her mom, and how she's been there for her through it all. Yes, I know it makes a few references to her father, but you can tell that she's speaking directly to her mom. "Daddy's smart, and YOU'RE THE PRETTIEST LADY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD." The whole song is about her relationship with her mom. In the beginning, she recalls a memory from when she was little and she and her mom were together at a farm in autumn (hence the coat, pumpkin patch, and tractor rides).
In the second verse, she recalls being 13. She comes home from school crying because her friends hurt her. The two of them drive around and talk, and Taylor is glad to be with her mom. She doesn't know how things will blow over with her friendship problems, but she knows that her mom is always there for her, and that things will be okay.
Taylor says that she's now older and wiser, but she still needs her mom. She thanks her for always being supportive and helping her through it all.
this song sounds just like my mom shes always trying so hard to keep our family together and happy and the part about her little brouther thats my favorite i have 4 brothers and they are all better than me inside and out and even though we fight they know i love them to death
