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
‘Till I 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
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

Berikut adalah lirik lagunya:
She used to be my only enemy and never let me free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn’t be
Every other day, I crossed the line, I didn’t mean to be so bad
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
Back then, I didn’t know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend
You’re my friend
I didn’t want to hear it then, but I’m not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I had a lot of time to think about, about the way I used to be
I never had a sense of my responsibility
Back then, I didn’t know why
Why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes
All that you did was love
Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend
You’re my friend
You’re my friend
But now, I’m sure I know why (I know why)
Why you were misunderstood
So now, I see through your eyes
All I can give you is love
Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend
Mama, I love you
Mama, I care
Mama, I love you
Mama, my friend
You’re my friend (oh, mama)
You’re my friend
Oh
Mama, my love
Oh
Mama, I love you (and loving you, and loving me)
Mama, I care (and love that’s true and guaranteed)
Mama, I love you (and loving you and loving me, you loving me)
Mama, my friend (and love that’s true and guaranteed, so true)
