That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be[00:00:00]
- carly simon[00:00:02]
My father sits at night with no lights on[00:00:31]
His cigarette glows in the dark [00:00:38]
The living room is still;[00:00:46]
I walk by no remark [00:00:49]
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where[00:01:01]
My mother reads her magazines [00:01:08]
I hear her call sweet dreams [00:01:16]
But I forgot how to dream [00:01:19]
But you say it's time we moved in together[00:01:31]
Raised a family of our own you and me[00:01:38]
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be[00:01:45]
You want to marry me [00:01:51]
My friends from college they're all married now;[00:02:00]
They have their houses and their lawns [00:02:08]
They have their silent noons [00:02:16]
Tearful nights angry dawns [00:02:19]
Their children hate them[00:02:30]
For the things they're not there never be[00:02:33]
They hate themselves for what they are-[00:02:39]
And yet they drink they laugh [00:02:46]
Close the wound hide the scar [00:02:49]
But you say it's time we moved in together[00:03:01]
Raised a family of our own you and me[00:03:08]
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be[00:03:15]
You want to marry me [00:03:21]
You say we can keep our love alive[00:03:31]
Babe - all I know is what I see -[00:03:38]
The couples cling and claw[00:03:46]
And drown in love's debris [00:03:49]
You say we'll soar like two birds[00:04:01]
Through the clouds [00:04:04]
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf -[00:04:08]
I'll never learn to be just me first[00:04:15]
By myself [00:04:21]
Well O K it's time we moved in together[00:04:32]
Raised a family of our own you and me -[00:04:38]
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be[00:04:45]
You want to marry me we'll marry[00:04:51]
