Song Lyrics
We’ve been together for a decade now
Still everyday I’m lovin’ you more
If I could do it all again
I’d probably do it all the same as before
I don’t wanna know what would’ve happened if I never had had your love
I didn’t become myself before I met you
I don’t wanna know what would’ve happened if I never had felt your love
Everything about you I like
We started out so fast
Now we can take it slower
Love takes some timе
Takes a little time, so takе a little time
As it ages like wine
How does it keep getting better?
Everyday our love finds a new way to grow
The time we spend together
Hmm, simply feels good
We got a good thing going
And just when I thought that my heart was full
I found places that I never explored
You’re so fascinating
And I can’t remember the last time I was bored
I don’t wanna know what would’ve happened if I never had had your love
I didn’t become myself before I met you
I don’t wanna know what would’ve happened if I never had felt your love
Everything about you I like
How does it keep getting better?
Everyday our love finds a new way to grow (Finds a new way to grow)
The time we spend together
Hmm, feels good
How does it keep getting better?
Every day our love finds a new way to grow
The time we spend together
Hmm, simply feels good
We got a good thing going
