Lyrics:

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 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

Ah, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere, anytime of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life 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 life for me

Ah, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere, anytime of the day
