Lyrics
Verse
The mornin’ sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan,
In her white suburban bedroom, in her white suburban town;
As she lay there ‘neath the covers dreamin’ of a thousand lovers,
‘Til the world turned orange and the room went spinnin’ ‘round.

Chorus
At the age of 37 she realized she’d never ride through Paris
In a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
And she let the phone keep ringin’ as she sat there softly singin’
Pretty nurs’ry rhymes she’d memorized in her daddy’s easy chair.

Verse
Her husband he was off to work and the 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 screamin’ all the way.

Chorus
At the age of 37 she realized she’d never ride through Paris
In a sports car with the warm wind in her hair.
And she let the phone keep ringin’ as she sat there softly singin’
Pretty nurs’ry rhymes she’d memorized in her daddy’s easy chair.

Verse
The evenin’ sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan,
On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud;
And she bowed and curtseyed to the man who reached and offered her his hand
And led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.

Chorus
At the age of 37 she knew she’d found forever
As they rode along through Paris with the warm wind in her hair.
Oo oo the wind in her hair.
