  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
