It Did Lyrics

a single red rose and a table for two
a nice chardonnay and an ocean view
ships comin in stars comin' out
we sat and we talked 'til the place closed down
then we took a long walk down on the beach
her in that white dress in 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
we were 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 and that tux fightin butterflies
tears of joy in my mama's eyes
her daddy walkin her down that aisle
i lifted that veil and i saw that smile
and i said
to her
it doesn't get better than this
no it doesn't get better than this
and it did
it did
oh it did
just when i start thinkin it's 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 her she's squeezin my hand
one more push and a baby cries
a sweet little angel with her mama's eyes
and i said
to my girls
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
a single red rose and a table for two
a nice chardonnay and an ocean view
