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

Then 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 time for me

[ ac.guitar ]

The photograph album she takes from the closet and slowly turns the page

Carefully picks up the crumbling flower

The first one he gave her now withered with age

She closes her eyes 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...

Such are the dreams...

Such are the dreams...

Such are the dreams...
