Dreams of the Everyday Housewife - Gary Puckett and the Union Gap

作曲：C. 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 holds up her apron in little girl-fashion

As something comes into her mind

Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood

And all of the boys she had waiting in line

Oh such are the dreams of the everyday housewife

You see everywhere 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 first 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 everywhere any time of the day

An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
