Wedding Cake Lyrics - Connie Smith

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
