Better With Time

Yesterday, I drove past the house we used to live in When you were waitin' tables I was working nine to five Do you remember All the snow we got that winter? Your car could barely make it up the drive We had to skimp And save to pay that rent But it was worth every last cent just for the view One bedroom house Big bay windows facing south Watch the sunrise on the mountain Every morning next to you Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn't trade 'em for The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine We keep getting better with time We couldn't wait A year was all we needed To know the love we'd found was something rare We said our vows On a weekday on the mountain With a bottle of champagne And the book of common prayer And that first Christmas You'd bring home bottles of good vintage That the table didn't finish And we'd drink a midnight glass and fall asleep By the soft light of the tree With the dog down by our feet In each others arms at last Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn't trade 'em for The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine We keep getting better with time Now it looks like someone finally bought the place They'll tear it down And build some million dollar mansion to their taste But, honey, that's okay 'Cause, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn't trade 'em for The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine We keep getting better with time We keep getting better with time
