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



So 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
