I dont know how to tell her
That I didnt get that raise in pay today.
And I know how much she wanted the dress
In Macy's window, and it breaks my heart
To see her have to wait
And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate.
But I can count on her to take it
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 the brass ring every time,
But she dont mind.
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And its mine.
The new house plans we've had so long,
I guess will gather dust another year.
And the daffodils are blooming
that she planted way last fall
Upon the hill, and over by the gate.
Lord knows I hate to say again well have to wait.
But you can bet that she'll just take it
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 the brass ring every time,
But she dont mind.
She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And I'm so glad that its mine!
