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