[Verse 1]
Yesterday
I drove past the house we used to live in
When you were waitin' tables
I was working nine to five
Do you remember
All the snow we got that winter?
Your car could barely make it
Up the drive

We had to skimp and save
To pay that rent
But it was worth every last cent
Just for the view
One bedroom house
Big bay windows facing south
Watch the sunrise on the mountain
Every morning next to you

[Chorus]
Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn’t trade 'em for
The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more
Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine
We keep getting better with time

[Verse 2]
We couldn't wait
A year was all we needed
To know the love we'd found
Was something rare
We said our vows
On a weekday on the mountain
With a bottle of champagne
And the book of common prayers

And that first Christmas
You’d bring home bottles of good vintage
That the table didn’t finish
And we’d drink a midnight glass
And fall asleep
By the soft light of the tree
With the dog down by our feet
In each others arms at last

[Chorus]
Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn’t trade 'em for
The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more
Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine
We keep getting better with time
[Verse 3]
Now it looks like
Someone finally bought the place
They’ll tear it down
And build some million dollar mansion to their taste
But honey that's okay

[Chorus]
Oh, the memories are sweet, but I wouldn’t trade 'em for
The way we fight a little less now, make love a little more
Like that bottle we've been saving of California wine
We keep getting better with time
We keep getting better with time
