Ricky Van Shelton - Life's Little Ups and Downs lyrics

I don't know how to tell her I didn't get that 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 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 Life has its little ups and downs Like ponies on a merry go round And no one grabs the bra** 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 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 Life has its little ups and downs Like ponies on a merry go round And no one grabs the bra** 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
