Connie Smith - Wedding Cake lyrics

Don't be troubled bout me cause I'm tired From working round the house when day is done Don't think you've failed cause you can't afford That dishwasher to make my life more fun You know the measure of a man is much more than just the money he can make And every woman knows a lot of joy and tears come with the wedding cake The wedding cake is not all icing and loving tender whispers in the dark One slice is concern for all your dreams Afraid they won't come true and break your heart Another slice is feeding kids and wiping noses Crying when the doorbell rings and there are roses Every woman knows a lot of give and take comes with the wedding cake It's facing shadows of the future praying they will fall away As we walk towards them searching for the sun And it's long and anxious hours with the wolf at the door Hugs and kisses when at last we see the dawn So when the hands of time trace tiny lines Upon our face and lace our hair with strands of gray We'll laugh and say for all who will partake it all comes with the wedding cake
