The Wedding Cake - Remastered 2022

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 loving tender whispers in the dark
One slice is concern for all your dreams
'fraid they won't come through and break your heart
Another slice is feedin' 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 toward 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 20 lines
Upon our face and lace our hair with strands of grey
We'll 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
Oh, yes, for all who will partake, it all comes with the wedding cake
