A single red rose and a table for two
A nice chardonay and an ocean view
Ships comin in and stars comin out

We sat and we talked till the place closed down
Then 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
And pulled her close and i held on tight
And i said to myself

It doesnt get better than this
No it doesnt get better than this


And it did
It did
Whoa it did


Fastforeward to that next spring
We were lookin for a preacher

Pickin out rings
Family comin in and friends comin out
To that white church on the outskirts of town

Me in that tux fightin butterflies
Tears of joy in the mommas eyes
Her daddy walkin her down the aisle

He lifted that veil and i saw that smile
And i said
To myself

It doesnt get better than this

No it doesnt get better than this


But it did
It did

Oh it did

Just when i start thinkin its as good as it can get

This crazy life does somethin just to let me know
I haven't seen anything yet


Nine months later nearly to the day
There we were flyin 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 and shes squeezin my hand

One more push and a baby cries
Sweet little angel with his momma's eyes
And i said

To myself
It doesnt get better than this
No it doesnt get better than this


But it did
It did

Oh it did
Yes it did
