Original Broadway Cast of The Sound of Music
An Ordinary Couple
[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 its flight
To kiss you every morning
And to kiss you every 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 VON TRAPP]

To laugh and weep together
While time goes on its flight
To kiss you every morning
And to kiss you every night

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

[MARIA & CAPTAIN VON TRAPP]
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
