Dreams Of the Everyday Housewife |
Peaked at # 32 in 1968 |
Written by Chris Gantry |
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 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 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… |
