He meets her in a tavern
He's taken by her smile
She thinks he looks reckless
And she's feelin' kind of wildThey leave that bar together
Make the rounds from place to place
They try to keep it light
Still they wind up face to faceSo they open up the bottle
To let those feelin's out
It's the only way they know
To say the truth or hide the doubtAnd in the night they love and fight
And sometimes even touch
But in the day they don't remember muchThey hold on to one another
Make a circle of their friends
Time passes quickly
When the party never endsThey do everything together
Till there's nothin' left to do
But keep the champagne flowin'
Right on through the honeymoonSo they open up the bottle
To let those feelin's out
It's the only way they know
To say the truth or hide the doubtAnd in the night they love and fight
And sometimes even touch
But in the day they don't remember muchWell, the sun comes through the window
She crawls out of bed
Tries to make the coffee
While he tries to clear his headThey stare across the table
Through the silence and the hurt
They've come down to the problem
And it's gonna take some workSo they open up the bottle
To let those feelin's out
It's the only way they know
To say the truth or hide the doubtAnd in the night they love and fight
And sometimes even touch
But in the day they don't remember much
In the day they don't remember much
