An Ordinary Couple
Captain:
If ever we are married
I'll never pretend
To any dream of any greater glory
Than just to be your husband
Your lover
Your friend
And live with you and old and simple story
(In original stage production only)*

Maria:
An ordinary couple
Is all we'll ever be
For all I want of living is to keep you close to me
To laugh and weep together
While time goes on it's flight
To kiss you ev'ry morning
And to kiss you ev'ry night

We'll meet our daily problems
And rest when day is done
Our arms around each other in the fading sun

An ordinary couple
Across the years we'll ride
Our arms around each other
And our children by our side
Our arms around each other

Captain:
An ordinary couple
Is all we'll ever be
For all I want of living is to keep you close to me
To laugh and weep together
While time goes on it's flight
To kiss you ev'ry morning
And to kiss you ev'ry night

We'll meet our daily problems
And rest when day is done
Our arms around each other in the fading sun

An ordinary couple
Across the years we'll ride
Our arms around each other
And our children by our side
Our arms around each other
