It Did

A single red rose and a table for two A nice chardonnay and an ocean view Ships comin in and stars comin out We sat and we talked til the place closed down And we took a long walk down on the beach Her in that white dress and her bare feet   We stopped and we watched the 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 Lookin for a preacher pickin out rings Family comin in and friends comin out   To that little white church on the outskirts of town Me in that tux fighting butterflies Tears of joy in my momma’s eyes Her daddy walkin 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 thinkin 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 weavin in and car weavin out Through traffic runnin every red light in town Delivery room and the doctor comes in   I’m right beside her she’s squeezin my hand One more push and a baby cries Sweet little angel with his momma’s eyes 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 Yes it did
