E E7 As she lay there 'neath the covers A E dreaming of a thousand lovers B B7 till the world turned to orange E E7 and the room went spinning round. A At the age of thirty-seven E she realized she'd never ride through Paris in a sports car B with the worm wind in her hair. E E7 So she let the phone keep ringing A E as she sat there softly singing B the nursery rhymes she'd memorize A E in her daddy's easy chair. E7 Her husband is off to work A E and the kids are off to school and there were oh so many ways B B7 for her to spend a day. E E7 She could clean the house for hours A E or re-arrange the flowers B or make it through the shady stream E screaming all the way. A At the age of thirty-seven E she realized she'd never ride through Paris in a sports car B with the worm wind in her hair. E E7 So she let the phone keep ringing A E as she sat there softly singing B the nursery rhymes she'd memorize A E in her daddy's easy chair. E7 The evening sun touched gently on A E the eyes of Lucy Jordan on the roof top where she climbed B B7 when all the laughter grew too loud. E E7 And she bowed and cursed to the man (?) A E who reached out ... off to her his hands (?) B and led her down to a long white car (?) E E7 that waited, past the crowd. A At the age of thirty-seven E she knew that she'd found heaven as she rode along through Paris B with the worm wind in her hair. Seite 1 von 3
