Katy Says Today Is The Best Day Of My Whole Entire lyrics

Katy Says Today is the Best Day of my Whole Entire Life
Katy is Three years old
We`ve been dancing in the living room to her new Tom Paxton record
Katy`s got a lot of rhythm when she wiggles, for a little kid, she`s got soul

That night when her mom and dad come home
I tell them what she said to me
I figure they`ll think I`m some kind of babysitting genius
To make this little girl so darn happy
But they smile and they say `don`t take this the wrong way
But Katy said the same thing yesterday
Lately she`s been saying that everyday`

I think back to what I know was the best day of my life
It was wintertime
Ten years ago
We were staying in a farmhouse
In the middle of Vermont
The hills were covered with Christmas trees
And freshly fallen snow

Instantly I picture the vivid details of that day
When you told me that you loved me more than you could ever say
The air was a bracing cold
The sky a startled blue
Never before or since
Have I felt that close to you

What does that say about you and me and the last ten years
I`ve learned to live with your silence
You`ve learned to overlook my tears
Now this dancing three year old in her simple perfect way
Has me questioning the basis for the life we live today

Katy`s probably sleeping now
I wonder if she dreams about
Flying with the angels
Dancing with moonbeams
You are here beside me
You are snoring right out loud
I long to kiss you on the forehead
And smooth your worried brow

Though we have not given up
It`s been ages since we`ve tried
To reveal the aching passion
That for years we`ve pushed aside
I whisper that I love you
Because I know you cannot hear
I turn off the light
And in the dark
You gently pull me near

Katy Says Today is the Best Day of my Whole Entire Life
