When the Children are Asleep Lyrics

The first year we′re married
We'll have one little kid
The second year we′ll go
And have another little kid
You'll soon be donning socks for eight little feet
While you build it up 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′ll 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 saying
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 all came true
When the children are asleep
We'll sit and dream (dream all alone)
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 me, hold me
The way I love you today
You'll pardon my saying
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 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′ll dream with you
