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 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... Ah such are the dreams... Ah such are the dreams...
