Rainbow Cake
Vince Jones Lyrics

I wake up at nine, have a cup of tea
I start my day off simply, with a warm cup of tea at a decent hour.

Kids on the street, they're playing ball
Outside my window, I see the youth of today enjoying a simple game of ball.

She falls, and cries
One of the young children takes a tumble and begins to cry in pain.

The grass is wet and the leaves are brown
The environment around us is not always picture-perfect, as evidenced by the wet grass and brown leaves on the ground.

And I call them in, from two stories up
As an adult, it's my responsibility to check on the children's safety and call them inside from my perch on the second floor.

She whispers she loves me
After all these years, my partner still loves me deeply and expresses it through sweet whispers.

Forty-two years after we
It's been over four decades since we first met and started our life together.

To join our lives through one through bends or breaks
Through all of life's ups and downs, we've remained committed to each other, our love strong enough to endure.

We have some rainbow cake
To celebrate our enduring love, we indulge in a dessert as colorful and sweet as our relationship.

To know we'll never play like them again
The innocence and joy of our youth is a fleeting moment, and we'll never be able to fully recapture it again.
