She watches the soaps
And pins all her hopes
And her dreams
She lets her mind drift
With the scripts that unfold
On the screen
She can't live like they live
But each day she sits there and tries
Like sands through the hourglass
So are the days of our wives
One life to live
One heart to give
To her man
She's raising her babies
And doing the best that she can
So she watches the soaps
And sometimes just sits there and cries
Like sands through the hourglass
So are the days of our wives
So fly away heart on the wings
Of make believe things
It's nice to pretend
And maybe cry at the end
She watches the soaps
And sometimes just sits there and cries
Like sands through the hourglass
So are the days of our wives
So fly away heart on the wings
Of make believe things
It's nice to pretend
And maybe cry at the end
She watches the soaps
And sometimes just sits there and cries
Like sands through the hourglass
So are the days of our wives
Like sands through the hourglass
So are the days of our wives
