I Don't Know How To Tell Her

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

I Can Count On Her To Take It With A Smile

And Not A Frown

She Knows That



(Chorus)

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 I'm So Glad That It's Mine



The New Houseplans 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

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



(Repeat Chorus)



She Wears A Gold Ring On Her Finger

And I'm So Glad That It's Mine
