A Good Love And A Bottle Of Wine

He looks in the mirror and spots a new wrinkle The gray in his hair sadly tells him the truth Time’s marching on to its own heartless drummer It’ll never return 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 together 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 again 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 Contentment’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
