lyrics

As Good As it Gets
( T. Paronis , Ph Allaert
TEPCO publishing / Groove Maniac Publishing )

Come on baby, let’s do another round
It’s getting kind of late, the sun’s going down
You say you’ve got some worries, that makes two
But right now mama it’s just me and you

You’ve got booze in the ice box, music in the place
Heartache in your voice, some lines on your face
Me I had a future twenty years ago
Where it went I don’t really know

But we won’t pretend it’s something it ain’t
Won’t try to put on a fresh coat of paint
Cause we both know despite the regrets
This might just be as good as it gets

There’s a view across the alley, in a world built for two
It might be kind of funky , but we are too
Don’t worry about the future, don’t think about the past
Just hang on to the moment and try to make it last

CHORUS - SOLO

So long baby, I’ll see you down the line
Don’t worry about a thing , it’ll work out fine
Take it easy, take it slow
Maybe one more round before I go

CHORUS - SOLO AD LIB
