It Did

A single red rose and a table for two A nice chardonnay and an ocean view Ships coming in and stars coming out We sat and we talked until the place closed down Then we took a long walk down on the beach Her and that white dress and her bare feet We stopped and we watched that lighthouse light I pulled her close and I held on tight And I said to myself it doesn't get better than this No, it doesn't get better than this. And it did, it did, oh, it did. Fast forward to that next spring we were looking for a preacher Picking out rings Family coming in and friends coming out To that little white church on the outskirts of town Me in that tux, fighting butterflies Tears of joy in my mamma's eyes Her daddy walking her down the aisle He lifted that veil and I saw that smile And I said to myself it doesn't get better than this No, it doesn't get better than this. But it did, it did, oh, it did. Just when I start thinking it's as good as it can get This crazy life does something just to let me know I haven't seen anything yet. Nine months later nearly to the day There we were flying down the interstate Car weaving in, car weaving out Through traffic running every red light in town Delivery room and the doctor comes in I'm right beside her she's squeezing my hand One more push and a baby cries Sweet little angel with his mama's eyes And I said to myself it doesn't get better than this No, it doesn't get better than this. But it did, it did, oh, it did. Yes, it did...
