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 remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys, she had waiting in line
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere 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 with age
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 everywhere 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 everywhere 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 everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife
Who gave up the good life for me
