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
