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
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
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 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
ANYTIME 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
ANYTIME 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
ANYTIME OF THE DAY
