The mornings touched like neon, [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom, in a [B] suburban town
As she lay there beneath the covers, dreaming [A] of a thousand [E] lovers
To a [B] world turned to horror, and the room went spinning [E] round
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, [E] she realized she'd never ride through Paris
In a sports car with a warm wind in [B] her hair
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing, and [A] she sat there [E] softly singing
[B] Surprised she'd memorized [A] that that is his [E] chair
Her husband, he's off to work, [A] and the kids were off to [E] school
And now her husband, he's away, for her [B] to spend the [B] day
She [E] could clean the house for hours, [A] or rearrange [E] a flower
[B] Or a name in 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 a warm wind in her [B] hair
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing, and [A] she sat there softly [E] singing
[B] Surprised she'd memorized that [A] that is his [E] chair
Evening sun touched gently on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter grew too [B] loud
She
[E]
bowed, cursing to the man [A] who reached down off of [E] her hand
[B] And he leapt down to the long white car and waited, hardly [E] crying
At [A] the age of thirty-seven, [E] she knew she'd found forever
And she would hold her love through Paris with a warm wind in [B] her hair
