[E]
The morning sun touched lightly on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom in a white [B] suburban town
As she lay [E] there beneath the covers dreaming [A] of a thousand [E] lovers
Till the [B] world turned to arrow and the room went [E] spinning 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 her [B] hair
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing and she [A] sat there [E] softly singing
Little [B] Lucy cries, she remembers that [A] daddy's his [E] child
Her husband is off to work [A] and the kids were off to [E] school
And now her husband and wife [B] want her to spend the day
She [E] could clean the house for hours [A] or rearrange [E] a flower
[B] Or a name through the shady street screaming all [E] the way
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 her hair
[B]
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing and [A] she sat there softly [E] singing
[B] Little Lucy cries, she remembers that [A] daddy's his [E] child
The evening sun touched gently on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
On the rooftop where she climbed when all the laughter [A] grew too [B] loud
Then [E] she bowed cursing to the man [A] who reached the end of the [E] horse pack
And [B] he led her down to the long white car that waited [A] past [E] the cross
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 her hair
The morning sun touched lightly on [A] the eyes of Lucy [E] Jordan
In a white suburban bedroom in a white [B] suburban town
As she lay [E] there beneath the covers dreaming [A] of a thousand [E] lovers
Till the [B] world turned to arrow and the room went [E] spinning 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 her [B] hair
So [E] she let the phone keep ringing and she [A] sat there [E] softly singing
Little [B] Lucy cries, she remembers that [A] daddy's his [E] child
Her husband is off to work [A] and the kids were off to [E] school
And now her husband and wife [B] want her to spend the day

[B] Or a name through the shady street screaming all [E] the way
At [A] the age of thirty-seven [E] she realized she'd never ride through Paris
