《Sandra》歌词

[00:00:01] Sandra-Barry Manilow

[00:00:19] She's a great little housewife

[00:00:21] Though sometimes she talks like a fool

[00:00:25] But she helps at the store in the holiday rush

[00:00:29] And she picks up the kids after school

[00:00:33] And she puts down the phone

[00:00:35] When her husband comes home

[00:00:37] And she changes from mother to wife

[00:00:41] 'Til she feels the words hanging between them

[00:00:45] And she hangs by her words to her life

[00:00:49] She says I swear I love my husband

[00:00:56] I love my kids

[00:01:00] I wanted to be like my mother

[00:01:04] But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

[00:01:08] Oh there might have been time to be me

[00:01:12] For myself for myself

[00:01:17] There's so many things that she wishes

[00:01:21] She don't even know what she's missin'

[00:01:26] And that's how she knows that she missed

[00:01:35] She's a sweetheart except when she's moody

[00:01:43] It's hard to get through to her then

[00:01:47] Depressed for a while

[00:01:49] When the youngest was born

[00:01:51] Oh but that happens now and again

[00:01:53] She might take a drink with the housework

[00:01:59] Or when Michael's kept late at the shop

[00:02:02] A Martini or two before dinner

[00:02:06] But she always knows when to stop

[00:02:11] She says I swear I love my husband

[00:02:17] And I love my kids

[00:02:21] You know I wanted to be like my mother

[00:02:24] But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

[00:02:29] Oh there might have been time to be me

[00:02:32] For myself for myself

[00:02:37] There's so many things that she wishes

[00:02:40] She don't even know what she's missin'

[00:02:44] And that's how she knows that she missed

[00:02:49] Oh they used to hold hands at the movies

[00:03:03] Now it's seldom if ever they go

[00:03:06] Once you've paid for the sitter

[00:03:09] And parkin' the car

[00:03:11] There's no money left for the show

[00:03:14] She was doing the dishes

[00:03:19] When a glass fell and broke on the tile

[00:03:23] And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake)

[00:03:30] It was real touch and go for a while

[00:03:35] She says Oh God I love my husband

[00:03:40] And I love my kids

[00:03:42] You know I wanted to be like my my mother

[00:03:47] But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did

[00:03:51] Oh there might have been time to be me

[00:03:55] For myself for myself

[00:03:59] There's so many things that she wishes

[00:04:04] She don't even know what she's missin'

[00:04:07] And that's how she knows that she missed
