Dreams of the Everyday Housewife [Live]

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

An everyday housewife

Who gave up the good time 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

An everyday housewife

Who gave up the good time for me.



Ah, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

You see everywhere, anytime of the day

An everyday housewife

Who gave up the good time for me.



Ah, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

You see everywhere, anytime of the day

An everyday housewife

Who gave up the good time for me...
