I DON'T KNOW
HOW TO TELL HER
I DIDN'T GET THAT
RAISE IN PAY TODAY
AND I KNOW HOW MUCH
SHE WANTED
THE 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 CAN COUNT ON HER
TO TAKE IT
WITH A SMILE
AND NOT A FROWN
SHE KNOWS THAT LIFE
HAS IT'S LITTLE
UPS AND DOWNS
THAT PONY'S
ON A MERRY-GO-ROUND
AND NO ONE GRABS
THE BRASS RING
EVERY TIME
BUT SHE DON'T MIND
SHE WEARS A GOLD RING
ON HER FINGER
AND I'M SO GLAD
THAT IT'S MINE
THE NEW HOUSE PLANS
WE'VE HAD FOR SO LONG
I GUESS WILL
GATHER DUST
ANOTHER YEAR
AND THE DAFFODILS
ARE BLOOMING
THAT SHE PLANTED
WAY LAST FALL
UP ON THE HILL
OVER BY THE GATE
LORD KNOWS I HATE
TO SAY AGAIN
WE'LL 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 IT'S LITTLE
UPS AND DOWNS
THAT PONY'S ON
A MERRY-GO-ROUND
AND NO ONE GRABS
THE BRASS RING
EVERY TIME
BUT SHE DON'T MIND
SHE WEARS A GOLD RING
ON HER FINGER
AND I'M SO GLAD
THAT IT'S MINE
SHE WEARS A GOLD RING
ON HER FINGER
AND I'M SO GLAD
THAT IT'S MINE
