Life's Little Ups And Downs (1991)
I don't know how to tell her I didn't get the 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's made to celebrate
But I can count on her to take it with a smile and not a frown

You know that life has its little ups and downs like ponies on a merry-go-round
And no one grabbed 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 have for so long I guess will gather dust for another year
And the daffodils are blooming that she planted way last fall
Up on the hill and over by the gate
Lord I had 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

You know that life has its little ups and downs like pony's on a merry-go-round
And no one grabbed 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
