Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I believed that when love came to me
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry
But with me and you, it just started quietly and grew
And believe it or not
Now there's somethin' groovy and good 'bout whatever we got
[Verse 2]
And it's getting better
Growin' stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better every day, better every day
[Verse 3]
I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed
I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
Holding you a night just seems kind of natural and right
[Verse 4]
And it's not hard to see
That it isn't half of what it's gonna turn out to be
[Verse 5]
'Cause it's getting better
Growin' stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better every day, better every day
[Verse 6]
And I don't mind waitin', I don't mind waitin'
'Cause no matter how long it takes
The two of us know
[Verse 7]
That it's getting better
Growin' stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better every day, better every day
[Verse 8]
Getting better every day
It's getting better every day
Getting better every day
It's getting better every day
[Verse 9]
Getting better every day
It's getting better every day
Getting better every day
It's getting better every day
