She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles that weren't there yesterday |
|
And thinks of the young man that she almost married |
|
What would he think if he saw her this way? |
|
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion as something comes into her mind |
|
Slowly starts dancing rememb'ring her girlhood |
|
And all of the boys she had waiting in line |
|
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife |
|
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day |
|
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me |
|
The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the page |
|
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower |
|
The first one he gave her now withered today |
|
She closes her eyes and touches the house dress that suddenly disappears |
|
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown |
|
That broke all their minds back so many years |
|
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife |
|
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day |
|
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me |
|
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife |
|
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day |
|
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me |
|
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife |
|
FADE |
|
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day |
|
An everyday housewife |
