Barry Manilow - Sandra Lyrics

She's a great little housewife 
Though sometimes she talks like a fool 
But she helps at the store in the holiday rush 
And she picks up the kids after school 
And she puts down the phone when her husband comes home 
And she changes from mother to wife 
'Til she feels the words hanging between them 
And she hangs by her words to her life 

She says I swear I love my husband, I love my kids 
I wanted to be like my mother 
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did 
Oh there might have been time to be me 
For myself, for myself 
There's so many things that she wishes 
She don't even know what she's missin' 
And that's how she knows that she missed 

She's a sweetheart, except when she's moody 
It's hard to get through to her then 
Depressed for a while when the youngest was born 
Oh but that happens now and again 
She might take a drink with the housework 
Or when Michael's kept late at the shop 
A Martini or two before dinner 
But she always knows when to stop 

She says I swear I love my husband and I love my kids 
You know I wanted to be like my mother 
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did 
Oh there might have been time to be me 
For myself, for myself 
There's so many things that she wishes 
She don't even know what she's missin' 
And that's how she knows that she missed 

Oh they used to hold hands at the movies 
Now it's seldom if ever they go 
Once you've paid for the sitter and parkin' the car 
There's no money left for the show 
She was doing the dishes 
When a glass fell and broke on the tile 
And she cut her wrist (quite by mistake) 
It was real touch and go for a while 

She says Oh God I love my husband and I love my kids 
You know I wanted to be like my, my mother 
But if I hadn't done it as soon as I did 
Oh there might have been time to be me 
For myself, for myself 
There's so many things that she wishes 
She don't even know what she's missin' 
And that's how she knows that she missed
