Karaoke Track: That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be by Carly Simon (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

My Father sits
At night with

No lights on

His cigarette glows
In the dark

The living room
ls still

I walk by
No remark

l tip-toe past the
Master bedroom

Where my mother
Reads her magazines

I hear her call
Sweet dreams

But I forget how
To dream

But you say it's
Time we moved in

Together

Raised a family
Of our own

You and me

Well that's the way
I 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

Lives

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
Theylaugh

Close the wound
Hide the scar

But you say it's
Time we moved in

Together

Raised a family
Of our own

You and me

Well that's the way
I always heard

It should be

You want to
Marry me

We'll marry

You say that 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 okay
It's time we

Moved in together

And raised a
Family of

Our own
You and me

Well that's the
Way I always

Heard it
Should be

You want to
Marry me

We'll marry...
