Better

I remember the first time that I made you cry

To this day my heart bleeds when I think of that night

'cause up until then, I felt like the man of your dreams

Then I said the most selfish, insensitive things

With tears in your eyes and your eyes on the road

You leaned forward and turned down the radio

Then you showed me a grace like I'd never seen

You reached out your hand and you held on to me

And after all these years

It's you and me, together

It's not as good as I thought

It's better

I remember the first time you asked me to dance

Terrified, but my two left feet jumped at the chance

That's just like you to make sure I give it a try

Dare to fall on the off chance that maybe I'll fly

And after all these years

It's you and me, together

It's not as good as we thought

It's better

It's better

It's better

It's better

I remember the week before we got engaged

I took my six string to get it repaired at Ed's place

15 years on the road, but you know what I've found?

The longer you play it, the sweeter it sounds
