Dreams Of The Everyday Housewife

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
