I don't know how to tell her I didn't get that raise in paytoday
|
And I know how much she wanted that dress in Baker's window
|
And it breaks my heart to see her have to wait
|
And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate
|
But I count on her today with a smile and not a frown
|
She knows that life has its little ups and downs like ponies on a merry-go-round
|
And no one grabs a brass ring every time but she don't mind
|
She wears a gold ring on her finger and it's mine
|
|
Those new house plans we've had so long I guess will gather dust another year
|
And the daffodils are bloomin' that she planted way last fall upon the hill
|
And over by the gate God knows I hate to say again we'll have to wait
|
Bet that she'll just take it with a smile and not a frown
|
She knows that life has its little ups and downs...
|
She wears a gold ring on her finger and I'm so glad that it's mine
|
