A Good Love And A Bottle Of Wine
Written and recorded by Bill Anderson
G C G
He looks in the mirror and spots a new wrinkle
C G D7
The gray in his hair sadly tells him the truth
G C G
Time’s marching on to its own heartless drummer
C G D7 G
It’ll never return to the days of his youth
C G
He listens to Garth and he listens to Reba
C G D7
He loves country music but he says point blank
G C G
They don’t make the songs now as good as they used to
C G D7 G
And he misses Ernest and Lefty and Hank
D7 G
He’s a child of the fifties confused by the nineties
C G D7
Sound bytes and web sites and violence and crime
G C G
And he says only two things get better with time
D7 Em
A good love and a bottle of wine
G D7 G
A good love and a bottle of wine
C G
She wakes him up gently and whispers good morning
C G D7
She brings him his coffee one sugar no cream
G C G
He couldn’t tell you how long they’ve been married
C G D7 G
But she’s still his angel and the girl of his dreams
C G
And tonight when they lie in that big bed together
C G D7
He’ll tell her he loves her he’ll hold her and then
G C G
They’ll talk about life and the roads that they’ve traveled
C G D7 G
And he’ll say I’d sure like to do it again
D7 G
He saw the bridges of Madison county
C G D7
Apollo 13 sent a chill up his spine
G C G
But he still says just two things get better with time
D7 Em
A good love and a bottle of wine
G D7 G
A good love and a bottle of wine
D7 G
Contentment’s a journey it’s no destination
C G D7
You live long enough and one day you’ll find
G C G
That there’s only two things get better with time
D7 Em
A good love and a bottle of wine
G D7 G
A good love and a bottle of wine
