  1) The [E]morning sun touched lightly on

     the [A]eyes of Lucy [E]Jordan

     in a white suburban bedroom

     in a [B]white suburban town

  

     As she [E]lay there 'neith the colors

     dreaming [A]of a thousand [E]lovers

     'till the [B]world turned to orange

     and the room went spinning [E]round

     

  {c: Chorus:}

  {soc}

     At the [A]age of thirty seven

     she [E]realized - she'd never ride -

     through Paris - in a sportscar - 

     with the warm wind in her [B]hair ___[A]__[B]

     

     And she [E]let the phone keep ringing

     as she [A]sat there softly [E]singing

     pretty [B]nursery rhymes she'd memorized

     in her [A]daddy's easy [E]chair

  {eoc}

     

  2) Her husband, he was off to work

     and her kids were off to school

     and there were oh so many ways

     for her to spend the day

     

     She could clean the house for hours

     or rearrange the flowers

     or run naked down the shady street

     screaming all the way...

     

  {c: CHORUS}

  

  3) The evening sun touched gently on

     the eyes of Lucy Jordan

     on the rooftop where she climbed

     when all the laughter grew too loud 

      

     And she bowed in courtesy to the man

     who reached and offered her his hand

     and led her down to the long white car

     that waited past the crowd

     

  {c: Chorus:}

  

     At the age of thirty seven

     she knew - she'd found forever 

     as they rode along through Paris 

     with the warm wind in her hair

  

     ...with the wind in her hair...
