The Addy song.

The first time I heard the song "The Best Day" by Taylor Swift, I cried. 

This may not come as a shock to anyone that knows me in real life. Since having my babies I now cry over most things and if they have anything to do with kids, the tears come even quicker. I have probably cried looking at your photos or reading a post about your kids. lol. Seriously though. And when kids sing...oh might as well bring me a whole dang box of tissues. I blame my wonderful mom for passing that on to me. ☺

So, the day I heard that song {after getting control of my fountain of tears}, I told Addy that was her song. It has stuck. Now whenever Addy asks for "the Addy song," she means this song. She actually knows all the lyrics at a little over 3 years old. It's crazy! I love hearing her little voice sing the words... I will have to video it sometime. We listen to it on every car ride at her request. I love it.

So here are the lyrics and our trip with daddy to Bates Nut Farm. ♥

"The Best Day"

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
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've found a town

Far enough away

And we talk and window-shop

Until 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

Daddy's smart

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

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
