Lyrics:

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 Forget 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 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 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.
