Sandra by Barry Manilow Chords transcribed by Rob Tomeldan Date: May 6 2010 (Song is great for Mother’s day) Intro: /--/- --- pause 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 End...

Cette chanson parle de la vie d'une femme dévouée à sa famille, jonglant entre ses responsabilités de mère et de femme. Elle se décrit comme une épouse aimante, mais elle ressent le besoin de se reconnecter avec elle-même, comme si ses propres aspirations avaient été mises de côté. Malgré son engagement envers son mari et ses enfants, elle regrette parfois de ne pas avoir eu plus de temps pour découvrir qui elle est réellement. Son quotidien est rempli de petites luttes et de moments de remise en question, illustrant la complexité de la vie moderne et les sacrifices que l'on fait par amour. Le contexte fait écho à ces réflexions sur le rôle de la femme dans la société et sur l'équilibre à trouver entre vie personnelle et vie familiale. Ce morceau résonne particulièrement pendant des occasions comme la fête des mères, où l'on célèbre le dévouement et les sacrifices de toutes ces femmes.
