(Verse 1)
F
She watches the soaps and pins all her hopes
Bb
and her dreams.
C
She lets her mind drift with the scripts that
F
unfold on the screen.
She can't live like they live but each day she
Bb
sits there and tries.
C Bb
Like sands through the hourglass so are the days
F
of our wives.
(Verse 2)
F Bb
One life to live, one heart to give to her man.
C
She's raisin' her babies and doing the best that

there and cries.

Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of
F
our wives.

So, fly away heart on the wings of make believe things.

and cries.

Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our
F
wives.
