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

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

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

 

Everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
