Intro: Verse 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 And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate But 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 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 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 But you can bet that she will 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 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 Outro She wears a gold ring on her finger And I'm so glad that it's mine
