-2*  -2* -2* -3   3  -2*  2
She looks in the mir-ror and  
  2   -2* -3   3   -2*   2
stares at the wrin-kles that  
 3    3    3    3  -2* -33
were-n't there yes-ter-day  
 3    3    3  -3   -4   -4
And thinks of the young man  
 4   -5  4   -4  -3   3
that she al-most mar-ried 
 6    -5   4   -4   -3 -4  4  -4   -3  -2*
What would he think if he saw her this way?

She holds up her ap-ron in  
-3  -4   -3   3   -2* 2
Lit-tle girl fash-ion as  
 2     3     3   3  3  -2* -3 3
Some-thing comes in-to her mind 
 3    3   3    -3    -4  -4
Then slow-ly starts danc-ing  
4  -5    4    -4   -3   3
Re-mem-b’ring her girl-hood 
 3   6  -5  4   -4  -3  -4   4   -4  4   -5
And all of the boys she had wait-ing in line 

4    -4  -4  -4    4    -4
Ah, such are the dreams of  
 3  4   -4  3    4    -4
the ev-‘ry-day house-wife 
 3  -4  4   -5   4   -4 3  -4  -3  3  -3
You see ev-‘ry-where an-y time of the day 
 -5  -5  5   -5 -5   -3   -2*  -1
Like the ev-‘ry-day house-wife who  
 4   4   4   3    2    3  3
gave up the good life for me 

The photograph album she takes from the closet 
and slowly she turns the page 
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower 
The first one he gave her, now withered today 
[ Glen Campbell Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]  

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 
You see ev'rywhere any time of the day 
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
