When the Children are Asleep - Robert Rounseville/Barbara Ruick

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 every curl

On your head stand on it

When I make enough money

Out of one little boat

I'll put all of my money

In another little boat

I'll make twice as much

Out of two little boats

And 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

And bringin' more

And more and more and 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

I felt not enough to another fleet

We'll build a lot more rooms

Our dear little house will get bigger

Our dear little house will get bigger

And so will my figure

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
