[00:00.00]That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be - Carly Simon
[00:00.57]Written by：Carly Simon
[00:01.15]My father sits at night with no lights on
[00:08.42]His cigarette glows in the dark
[00:15.28]The living room is still
[00:18.07]I walk by no remark
[00:28.30]I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
[00:35.13]My mother reads her magazines
[00:42.29]I hear her call sweet dreams
[00:45.73]But I forgot how to dream
[00:56.36]But you say it's time we moved in together
[01:02.46]And raised a family of our own you and me
[01:08.89]Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
[01:13.85]You want to marry me we'll marry
[01:23.24]My friends from college they're all married now
[01:29.82]They have their houses and their lawns
[01:37.58]They have their silent noons
[01:40.23]Tearful nights angry dawns
[01:50.73]Their children hate them for the things they're not
[01:57.66]They hate themselves for what they are
[02:04.99]And yet they drink they laugh
[02:07.73]Close the wound hide the scar
[02:19.27]But you say it's time we moved in together
[02:25.57]And raised a family of our own you and me
[02:31.89]Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
[02:36.85]You want to marry me we'll marry
[02:47.82]You say that we can keep our love alive
[02:54.33]Babe all I know is what I see
[03:01.69]The couples cling and claw
[03:04.36]And drown in love's debris
[03:15.15]You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
[03:21.90]But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
[03:28.90]I'll never learn to be just me first
[03:33.82]By myself
[03:43.21]Well okay it's time we moved in together
[03:49.47]And raised a family of our own you and me
[03:55.77]Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
[04:00.62]You want to marry me we'll marry
[04:08.01]We'll marry
