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 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 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
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
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
She looks in the mirror and stares at the wrinkles
Ela olha no espelho e encara as rugas
That weren't there yesterday
Que não estavam lá ontem
And thinks of the young man that she almost married
E pensa no jovem homem com quem quase se casou
What would he think if he saw her this way?
O que ele pensaria se a visse assim?
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
Ela pega seu avental à moda de menina
As something comes into her mind
Quando algo vem à sua mente
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
Começa a dançar lentamente, lembrando de sua juventude
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
E todos os rapazes que tinha esperando na fila
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
You see everywhere any time of the day
Você vê em todos os lugares a qualquer hora do dia
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Uma dona de casa comum que desistiu da boa vida por mim
The photograph album she takes from the closet
O álbum de fotografias que ela tira do armário
And slowly turns the page
E lentamente vira a página
And carefully picks up the crumbling flower
E cuidadosamente pega a flor desmoronando
The first one he gave her now withered with age
A primeira que ele deu a ela agora murcha com a idade
She closes her eyes and
Ela fecha os olhos e
Touches the house dress that suddenly disappears
Toca o vestido de casa que de repente desaparece
And just for the moment she's wearing the gown
E só por um momento ela está usando o vestido
That broke all their minds back so many years
Que quebrou todas seus pensamentos há tantos anos
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
You see everywhere any time of the day
Você vê em todos os lugares a qualquer hora do dia
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Uma dona de casa comum que desistiu da boa vida por mim
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
You see everywhere any time of the day
Você vê em todos os lugares a qualquer hora do dia
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
Uma dona de casa comum que desistiu da boa vida por mim
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
Ah, tais são os sonhos da dona de casa comum
You see everywhere any time of the day
Você vê em todos os lugares a qualquer hora do dia
