robert rounseville & barbara ruick - when the children are asleep lyrics

[enoch]
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 speaking
i should be satisfied

[carrie, spoken]
well, ain’t you?

[enoch]
if i told you my plans and the things i intend
it’d make every curl on your head stand on end

when i make enough money outta 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 havе four little boats
then eight littlе boats
then a fleet of little boats
then a great big fleet of great big boats
all catchin’ herring
bringin’ it to shore
sailin’ out again
and bringin’ in more
and more, and more, and more!

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 darnin’ socks for eight little feet

[carrie]
are you buildin’ up to another fleet?

[enoch]
we’ll build a lot more rooms
our dear little house’ll get bigger
our dear little house’ll get bigger

[carrie]
and so will my figure

[enoch]
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
[carrie]
when the children are asleep we’ll sit and dream

[enoch]
dream all alone

[carrie]
the things that every other dad and mother dream

[enoch]
dreams that won’t be interrupted
when the children are asleep and lights are low

[carrie]
lo and behold
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

[enoch]
you’ll dream with me

[carrie]
we’ll think, “what fun we have had”
and be glad that it all came true
[enoch]
when today is a long time ago

[carrie & enoch]
you’ll still hear me say
that the best dream i know is

[carrie & enoch]
when the children are asleep i’ll dream with you (you)
