This is a little longer than the typical quote I post for Sunday Citar, but I was driving in my van yesterday and stopped to listen to the words to this Taylor Swift song for the first time and found myself crying as I drove down the interstate.

The Best Day
(click on song title to hear the song on Amazon)

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 gonna 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 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

And Daddy’s smart and you’re the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

And now I know why the 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 takin’ this chance to say

That I had the best day with you today.

Love you, Mom.
