DREAMS OF THE EVERYDAY HOUSEWIFE

She looks in the mirror,
and stares at the wrinkles
that were'nt 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.

Ah, such are the dreams
of the everyday housewife
you see everywhere, anytime 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 with age.

She closes her eyes,
and touches the housedress
that suddenly disappears.

And just for the moment
she's wearing the gown
that broke all their minds back so many years.

Ah, such are the dreams
of the everyday housewife
you see everywhere, anytime of the day.

An everyday housewife
who gave up the good life for me.

Ah, such are the dreams
of the everyday housewife
you see everywhere, anytime of the day.

An everyday housewife
who gave up the good life for me.

Ah, such are the dreams
of the everyday housewife
you see everywhere, anytime of the day.

An everyday housewife
who gave up the good life for me.
