All In A Day's Work Lyrics - Styx

She wakes up from a dream, checks the mirror for reality 

She says "Come on girl, it's all in a day's work" 

Gets herself dressed just in time, disappears on the 8:05 

Oh the whistle blows and it's all in a day's work 

'Til she calls it a day 

Oh she smiles as he glances up from the swimsuit issue 

Oh she sighs as he walks away into the downtown day 

Day after day night after night 

Loneliness creeps in her window 

She locks the door, turns off the light 

Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries 

It's all in a day's work 

Turning pages while the memories pass 

Familiar faces from her senior class 

How the years go by when it's all in a day's work 

"Dearest Ruby, hope you reach your star 

Don't ever change, stay as sweet as you are" 

And when a teardrop falls she calls it a day's work 

She calls it a day 

Oh she waits by the telephone for the call he promised 

Oh it's late 

She puts her heart away for another day 

Day after day night after night 

Loneliness creeps in her window 

She locks the door, turns off the light 

Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries 

All in a day's work
