It's Getting Better
Mama Cass
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 something groovy and good Bout whatever we got And it's getting better Growing stronger warm and wilder Getting better everyday, better everyday I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right And it's not hard to see That it isn't half of what it's going to turn out to be Cause it's getting better Growing stronger, warm and wilder Getting better everyday, better everyday And just like a flower that takes time to bloom This love of ours is taking time to grow Ba da da da da da da da da da da da And I don't mind waitin', don't mind waitin' Cause no matter how long it takes The two of us know That it's getting better Growing stronger, warm and wilder Getting better everyday, better everyday.
