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
