《That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be》歌词

[00:00:00] That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be

[00:00:02] - carly simon

[00:00:31] My father sits at night with no lights on

[00:00:38] His cigarette glows in the dark

[00:00:46] The living room is still;

[00:00:49] I walk by no remark

[00:01:01] I tiptoe past the master bedroom where

[00:01:08] My mother reads her magazines

[00:01:16] I hear her call sweet dreams

[00:01:19] But I forgot how to dream

[00:01:31] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:01:38] Raised a family of our own you and me

[00:01:45] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

[00:01:51] You want to marry me

[00:02:00] My friends from college they're all married now;

[00:02:08] They have their houses and their lawns

[00:02:16] They have their silent noons

[00:02:19] Tearful nights angry dawns

[00:02:30] Their children hate them

[00:02:33] For the things they're not there never be

[00:02:39] They hate themselves for what they are-

[00:02:46] And yet they drink they laugh

[00:02:49] Close the wound hide the scar

[00:03:01] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:03:08] Raised a family of our own you and me

[00:03:15] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

[00:03:21] You want to marry me

[00:03:31] You say we can keep our love alive

[00:03:38] Babe - all I know is what I see -

[00:03:46] The couples cling and claw

[00:03:49] And drown in love's debris

[00:04:01] You say we'll soar like two birds

[00:04:04] Through the clouds

[00:04:08] But soon you'll cage me on your shelf -

[00:04:15] I'll never learn to be just me first

[00:04:21] By myself

[00:04:32] Well O K it's time we moved in together

[00:04:38] Raised a family of our own you and me -

[00:04:45] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

[00:04:51] You want to marry me we'll marry
