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 past 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 prob'ly sleeping now, I wonder if she dreams
About flying with the angels and 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 tried
To reveal the aching passion that for years we've pushed aside
I whisper that I love you because I know you can not 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"
