The morning sun touched lightly on [A] the eyes of [E] Lucy Jordan _
In a white suburban bedroom, in a white [B] suburban town
As she [E] lay there, face the covers, _ [A] dreaming of a [E] thousand lovers
Till [B] the world turned to ara, and the room went [E] spinning round
At _ _ _ [A] the age of thirty-seven, _ [E] she realized she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her [B] hair
_ _ So [E] she let the phone keep ringing, and [A] she sat there, [E] softly said _
Little [B] nurse Ros, _ she'd memorized her [A] daddy's knees and [E] chest _
Her _ _ _ _ husband is off to work, _ [A] and the kids were off to [E] school
An hour of sound anyway, _ _ [B] for her to spend the day
_ She'd [E] clean the house for hours, _ or [A] rearrange the [E] flowers
_ Or [B] a knee _ through the shady street, _ screaming all the [E] way
_ [A] At the age of thirty-seven, _ [E] she realized _ she'd never ride
Through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her [B] hair
_ So _ _ [E] she let the phone keep ringing, and [A] she sat there, [E] softly said _
[B] Little nurse Ros, she'd memorized her [A] _ daddy's knees and [E] chest _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Evening sun touched gently on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter [A] grew [B] too _ loud _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Then [E] she bowed, cursing to the man [A] who reached down off of [E] her head
Then [B] he led her down to the long white car that waited past [E] the cross
_ _ _ At [A] the age of thirty-seven, _ [E] she knew _ she'd found forever
And she rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair _ _ _ _ _
