Lyrics

She just set there and she brushed her hair
Lord, it sure was dark and long
I got up and drank a half-warm beer
Found my boots, and put 'em on
She was not sure where she stood with me
As she straightened out her clothes
So, I kissed her warm red lips again
And, I whispered soft and low
Baby
It couldn't have been any better
It couldn't have been any sweeter
We couldn't have climbed any higher
If we'd been to the top of the world
We couldn't have got any closer
We couldn't have gone any farther
It couldn't have been any better
And, you're my best friend's girl
With a tender look she said: "Good night"
And I turned to walk away
Just before I closed that door and left
I could hear her softly say
Baby
It couldn't have been any better
(It couldn't have been any better)
It couldn't have been any sweeter
(It couldn't have been any sweeter)
We couldn't have climbed any higher
If we'd been to the top of the world
We couldn't have got any closer
(We couldn't have got any closer)
We couldn't have gone any farther
(We couldn't have gone any farther)
It couldn't have been any better
And, you're best friend's girl
It couldn't have been any better
(It couldn't have been any better)
It couldn't have been any sweeter
(It couldn't have been any sweeter)
We couldn't have climbed any higher
If we'd been to the top of the world
