All would envy
Все бы завидовали
Old enough to be her dad 
But the young men were just mad they nursed their grievances 
And she was flattered by his charm 
It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances 

He sent her flowers and limousines 
She was treated like a queen 
Anything she ever wanted 
It was no problem for a man like him 
And everyone expected soon 
That she could ask him for the moon 
If she would wear his ring 

Knowing glances from his friends 
In the homes at the weekends of high society 
But he didn't give a damn 
He never felt more like a man 
And all the time the clock was ticking... 

And all would envy 
The older man and his beautiful young wife 
Yes, all would envy 

In a house upon a hill 
She was there with time to kill 
She lived a life she'd only dreamed 
The life was never what it seemed 
To all her friends that she'd ignored 
She denied she was bored 
She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing 

But the clock upon the wall 
That was ticking in the hall 
Always reminded her 
That life was going on as well 
But she was happy and she would swear she wouldn't change a thing 

And all would envy 
The older man and his beautiful young wife 
Yes, all would envy 

Now it's 5 o'clock am 
She must have spent the night again with that old friend of hers 
She loves to dance 

She's missing more and more these days 
But he's still stuck in his old ways 
Perhaps she needs a little more romance 
But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall 
She must be home soon, soon 
Where a younger man would weep 
He takes a pill and goes to sleep 

Now who would envy 
the older man and his beautiful young wife 
Who would envy? 
Who would envy?
