Artist/Band: Connie Smith
Lyrics for Song: The Wedding Cake
Lyrics for Album: Just For What I Am [1974]



(Myra Smith - Margaret Lewis)



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...
