When the Children Are Asleep - Shirley Jones
I own a little house
And I sail a little boat
And the fish I catch I sell
And in a manner of speakin'
I'm doin' very well
I love a little girl
And she's in love with me
And soon she'll be my bride
And in a manner of speakin'
I should be satisfied
If I told you my plans
And the things I intend
It'll make ev'ry curl
On your head stand on it
When I make enough money outa one of my boat
I'll put all of my money in another little boat
I'll make twice as much outa two little boats
An' the first thing you know
I'll have four little boats;
Then eight little boats
Then a plenty little boats
Then a great big fleet of great big boats
All catchin' herring
Bringin' into shore;
Sailin' out again
An' bringin' more
An' more an' more an' more
The first year we're married
We'll have one little kid
The second year we're goin'
Have another little kid
You'll soon be donnin' socks
For eight little feet-
We'll build a lot more rooms
Our dear little house will get bigger
Our dear little house will get bigger-
When the children are asleep we sit and dream
The things that every other dad and mother dream
When the children are asleep and lights are low
If I still love you the way
I love you today
You'll pardon my sayin'
I told you so
When the children are asleep
I'll dream with you
We'll think what fun we have had and be glad
That it's all came true
When the children are asleep we sit and dream
The things that every other dad and mother dream
Dreams that won't be interrupted
When the children are asleep and lights are low
Hold and behold If I still love you
The way I love you today
You'll pardon my sayin'
I told you so
When the children are asleep
I'll dream with you
You'll dream with me
We'll think what fun we have had and be glad
That it's all came true
When today is a long time ago
You'll still hear me say
That the best dream I know is you
When the children are asleep I dream with you
