columns: 2

1) The ^Emorning sun touched lightly on the ^Aeyes of Lucy ^EJordan in a white suburban bedroom in a ^Bwhite suburban town

As she ^Elay there 'neith the colors dreaming ^Aof a thousand ^Elovers 'till the ^Bworld turned to orange and the room went spinning ^Eround

C: Chorus:
At the ^Aage of thirty seven she ^Erealized - she'd never ride - through Paris - in a sportscar - with the warm wind in her ^Bhair ___^A__^B

And she ^Elet the phone keep ringing as she ^Asat there softly ^Esinging pretty ^Bnursery rhymes she'd memorized in her ^Adaddy's easy ^Echair

2) Her husband, he was off to work and her kids were off to school and there were oh so many ways for her to spend the day She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers or run naked down the shady street screaming all the way...

C: CHORUS
3) The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan on the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud

And she bowed in courtesy to the man who reached and offered her his hand and led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd

C: Chorus:
At the age of thirty seven she knew - she'd found forever as they rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair
