Carly Simon
That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be

My father sits at night with no lights on
His cigarette glows in the dark
The living room is still
I walk by, no remark
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
My mother reads her magazines
I hear her call sweet dreams
But I forgot how to dream

But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry

My friends from college they're all married now
They have their houses and their lawns
They have their silent noons
Tearful nights, angry dawns
Their children hate them for the things they're not
They hate themselves for what they are
And yet they drink, they laugh
Close the wound, hide the scar

But you say it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
You want to marry me, we'll marry

You say we can keep our love alive
Babe, all I know is what I see
The couples cling and claw
And drown in love's debris
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
I'll never learn to be just me first
By myself

Well O.K., it's time we moved in together
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
You want to marry me, we'll marry
We'll marry




Mirror lyrics:



We'll marry
You want to marry me, we'll marry
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be,
And raised a family of our own, you and me
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together

By myself
I'll never learn to be just me first
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
And drown in love's debris
The couples cling and claw
Babe, all I know is what I see
You say we can keep our love alive

You want to marry me, we'll marry
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
And raised a family of our own, you and me
But you say it's time we moved in together

Close the wound, hide the scar
And yet they drink, they laugh
They hate themselves for what they are
Their children hate them for the things they're not
Tearful nights, angry dawns
They have their silent noons
They have their houses and their lawns
My friends from college they're all married now

You want to marry me, we'll marry
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be
And raised a family of our own, you and me
But you say it's time we moved in together

But I forgot how to dream
I hear her call sweet dreams
My mother reads her magazines
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
I walk by, no remark
The living room is still
His cigarette glows in the dark
My father sits at night with no lights on
