《The Wedding Cake》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wedding Cake - Jeannie C. Riley

[00:00:12] Don't be troubled about me cause I'm tired

[00:00:15] From workin' around the house

[00:00:18] When day is done

[00:00:23] Don't think you failed me cause you can't afford

[00:00:27] That dishwasher to make my life more fun

[00:00:35] You know the measure of a man is

[00:00:38] Much more than just the money he can make

[00:00:46] And every woman knows a lot of joy and tears

[00:00:51] Come with the wedding cake

[00:00:58] The wedding cake is not all icing

[00:01:01] And love and tender whispers in the dark

[00:01:10] One slice is concern for all your dreams

[00:01:13] Prayed they won't come true and break your heart

[00:01:21] Another slice is feedin' kids and wipin' noses

[00:01:26] Cryin' when the doorbell rings and there are roses

[00:01:32] Every woman knows a lot of give and take

[00:01:37] Comes with the wedding cake

[00:01:49] It's facin' shadows of the future

[00:01:52] Prayin' they will fall away as we walk toward them

[00:01:57] Searchin' for the sun

[00:02:04] It's long and anxious hours with the wolf at the door

[00:02:09] Hugs and kisses when at last we see the dawn

[00:02:18] So when the hands of time trace tellin' lines upon our face

[00:02:23] And lace our hair with strands of gray

[00:02:29] We laugh and say for all who will partake

[00:02:33] It all comes with the wedding cake

[00:02:41] Yes for all who will partake

[00:02:45] It all comes with the wedding cake
