She looks in the mirror and
stares at the wrinkles that
weren't there yesterday
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
Ah such are the dreams of the
everyday housewife
You see everywhere
Anytime of the day
And 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 a 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
And 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
And 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
