Dreams of the Everyday Housewife

Chris Gantry

Lyrics Translation

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

Ela olha no espelho e encara as rugas
Que ainda ontem não estavam lá
E pensa no jovem com quem quase se casou
O que ele pensaria se a visse assim?

Ela pega seu avental de maneira infantil
Enquanto algo vem à sua cabeça
Começa a dançar lentamente, lembrando de sua juventude
E todos os rapazes que a esperavam na fila

Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
Você vê em todos os lugares, a qualquer hora do dia
E a dona de casa comum que deixou a diversão de lado por mim

O álbum de fotografias que ela tira do armário
E lentamente vira a página
E cuidadosamente ele pega a flor desmoronando
A primeira que ele deu a ela agora murcha com a idade

Ela fecha os olhos e
Toca o vestido de casa que de repente desaparece
E apenas no momento em que ela está usando o vestido
Que desfez de todas suas memórias há tantos anos

Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
Você vê em todos os lugares, a qualquer hora do dia
E a dona de casa comum que deixou a diversão de lado por mim

Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
Você vê em todos os lugares, a qualquer hora do dia
E a dona de casa comum que deixou a diversão de lado por mim

Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
Você vê em todos os lugares, a qualquer hora do dia
