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 rememb'ring her girlhood   And all of the boys she had waiting in line      Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife   You see ev'rywhere 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 today      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 ev'rywhere any time 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 ev'rywhere any time of the day   An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me      Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife   FADE   You see ev'rywhere any time of the day   An everyday housewife
