Song Lyrics
Love Gets Better With Time
Once upon a time I fell in love with you.
You swept me off my feet and then we said "I do,"
Then we made a little home and had a family,
And we never could have known how sweet our life would be.
Our love gets better and better with time
Like the strawberries out on the vine or the diamond that shines.
Love lifts us higher and higher each day.
It was worth any price that we paid to stay in the game,
'Cause that's how you find that love gets better with time.
We've had a lot of fun but we've also had some tears,
'Cause in love you have to learn to navigate and steer.
It took patience and forgiveness and a lot of kindness too,
But it made each day worth living and it helped us make it through.
Our love gets better and better with time
Like the strawberries out on the vine or the diamond that shines.
Love lifts us higher and higher each day.
It was worth any price that we paid to stay in the game,
'Cause that's how you find that love gets better with time.
Ooh---
It isn't the kisses that keep us together,
It isn't the things that we own--
It's the promise we made that our love is forever,
A treasure more precious than gold.
It gets better and better and better and better with you.
Our love gets better and better with time
Like the strawberries out on the vine or the diamond that shines.
Love lifts us higher and higher each day.
It was worth any price that we paid to stay in the game,
'Cause that's how you find that love gets better with time.
Better and better,
It gets better and better with time.
Ooh -- it's better with time.
Ooh----

The Story Behind the Song
This is a song I wrote for my husband for our 34th wedding anniversary. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple. I am grateful that our marriage does not have an expiration date--that our love really can last forever--that it does not end at death. I'm grateful that we've stuck with it even through the rough times. Yes, love does get better with time.
