about

Co-written with Emma Kirkbride.

lyrics

Didn’t want to meet you at the movies
There was nothing I wanted to see
Spend all my money on you baby
But love got the better of me

Didn’t want to wrap my coat around you
But I couldn’t let you freeze
Wasn’t sure, should I try to steal a kiss?
Then love got the better of me

Just like a light switch when I need to see
A spoon of sugar in my cup of tea
You made it easy when you whispered please
Your love got the better of me

Don’t want you to see me crying
The tears they taste so sweet
Used to worry I’d be waiting here forever
But love got the better of me

Don’t ever want to lose this moment
In this dress it’s hard to breathe
Wasn’t sure, should I give my hand to you?
Then love got the better of me

Just like a vision when I need to believe
A silver ribbon round the apple tree
You made it easy when you got down on one knee
Your love got the better of me

Wonder where we’ll be in 50 years
I’ll go anywhere you are
Watching all our worries disappear
Safe inside my arms

Like a pair of glasses when I’m 93
The stitches holding my heart to my sleeve
You made it easy when you swept me off my feet
And love got the better of me

Don’t mean every day will be just perfect
We’ll try our best to trust
As the years pass I hope through thick and thin
Love gets the better of us
