That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be - from Carly's debut album 1971
Bm G My father sits at night with no lights on Bm G His cigarette glows in the dark Dm7 The living room is still Cmaj7 Am7 G I walk by, no remark Bm G I tiptoe past the master bedroom where Bm G My mother reads her magazines Bm G I hear her call sweet dreams Cmaj7 Am7 G But I forgot how to dream F Em But you say it's time we moved in together Dm7 Cmaj7 And raised a family of our own, you and me F Em Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be D You want to marry me, we'll marry Bm G My friends from college they're all married now Bm G They have their houses and their lawns Dm7 They have their silent noons Bm G Tearful nights, angry dawns Bm G Their children hate them for the things they're not Bm G They hate themselves for what they are Bm G And yet they drink, they laugh Cmaj7 Am7 G Close the wound, hide the scars F Em But you say it's time we moved in together Dm7 Cmaj7 And raised a family of our own, you and me F Em Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be D You want to marry me, we'll marry Bm G You say we can keep our love alive Bm G Babe, all I know is what I see Dm7 The couples cling and claw Cmaj7 Am7 G And drown in love's debris Bm G You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds Bm G But soon you'll cage me on your shelf Bm G I'll never learn to be just me first Cmaj7 Am7 G By myself F Em Well O.K., it's time we moved in together Dm7 Cmaj7 And raised a family of our own, you and me F Em Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be D You want to marry me, we'll marry D We'll marry
