I don't know how to tell her |
|
That I didn't get that raise in pay today |
|
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 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 don't mind |
|
She wears a gold ring on her finger |
|
And it's 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 last fall upon the hill |
|
And over by the gate |
|
Lord knows I hate to say again we'll have to wait |
|
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 don't mind |
|
She wears a gold ring on her finger |
|
And it's mine |
|
She wears a gold ring on her finger |
|
And it's mine (life has its little ups and downs) |
|
Oh, it's mine |
|
Yes, and it's mine (like ponies on a merry-go-round) |
|
Oh, it's mine |
|
Don't you know that it's mine (life has its little ups and downs) |
|
Yes, it's mine |
|
Oh, that lady's mine (like ponies on a merry-go-round) |
|
Oh, she's mine |
