Charlie Rich - Life Has It's Little Ups And Downs Lyrics

Life Has its Little Ups And Downs
By Charlie Rich

I dont know how to tell her
That I didnt get that raise in pay today.
And I know how much she wanted the dress
In Bakers window, and it breaks my heart
To see her have to wait
And cancel all her plans she made to celebrate.

But I can count on her to take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life
Has its little ups and downs,
Like Ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one plants the grass green every time,
But she dont mind.

She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And its mine.

The new house plans weve had so long,
I guess will gather dust another year.
And the daffodils are blooming
that she planted way last fall
Upon the hill, and over by the gate.
And Lord knows I hate to say again well have to wait.

But you can bet that shell just take it
With a smile and not a frown.
She knows that life has its little ups and downs,
Like Ponies on a merry-go-round.
And no one plants the grass green every time,
But she dont mind.

She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And Im so glad that its mine!

She wears a gold ring on her finger,
And Im so glad that its mine!
