He looks in the
mirror and spots a new wrin
kle
The
gray in his
hair sadly tells him the
truth
Time’s marching on to its
own heartless
drummer
It’ll
never re
turn to the
days of his
youth
He listens to Garth and he
listens to
Reba
He
loves country
music but he says point
blank
They don’t make the songs now as
good as they
used to
And
he misses
Ernest and
Lefty and
Hank
He’s a
child of the fifties
confused by the nineties
Sound bytes and
web sites and violence and
crime
And he
says only two things get
better with
time
A good love and a
bottle of
wine
A
good love and a
bottle of
wine
She wakes him up gently and
whispers good
morning
She
brings him his
coffee one sugar no
cream
He couldn’t tell you how
long they’ve been
married
But
she’s still his
angel and the
girl of his
dreams
And tonight when they lie in that
big bed to
gether
He’ll
tell her he
loves her he’ll hold her and
then
They’ll talk about life and the
roads that they’ve
traveled
And
he’ll say I’d
sure like to
do it a
gain
He
saw the bridges of
Madison county
Apollo
13 sent a chill up his
spine
But he
still says just two things get
better with
time
A good love and a
bottle of
wine
A
good love and a
bottle of
wine
Con
tentment’s a journey it’s
no destination
You
live long
enough and one day you’ll
find
That
there’s only two things get
better with
time
A good love and a
bottle of
wine
A
good love and a
bottle of
wine
