Glen Campbell - Dreams of an Everyday Housewife lyrics

rate me

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
