The Wedding Cake Lyrics

The Wedding Cake lyrics

Don't be troubled 'bout me cause I'm tired

From workin' 'round the house

When day is done

Don't think you failed me 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 love and tender whispers in the dark

One slice is concern for all your dreams

Prayed, they won't come true and break your heart

Another slice is feedin' kids and wipin' noses

Cryin' when the doorbell rings and there are roses

Every woman knows a lot of give and take

Comes with the wedding cake



It's facin' shadows of the future

Prayin' they will fall away as we walk toward them

Searchin' 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 tellin' lines upon our face

And lace our hair with strands of gray

We laugh and say for all who will partake

It all comes with the wedding cake



Yes, for all who will partake

It all comes with the wedding cake

Yes, for all who will partake

It all comes with the wedding cake (fade
