Songtexte: Connie Smith. Wedding Cake.

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
