Carousel (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Expanded Edition]
When the Children Are Asleep
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
Well, ain't you?
If I told you my plans and the things I intend
It'd 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 outa two little boats
An' the first thing you know, I'll have four little boats
And eight little boats, then a fleet of little boats
Then a great big fleet of great big boats
All catchin' herring, bringin' into shore
Sailin' out again, an' bringin' in 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 darnin' socks for eight little feet
I am 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
An' 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
Low 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 (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 dream with you
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
Well, ain't you?
If I told you my plans and the things I intend
It'd 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 outa two little boats
An' the first thing you know, I'll have four little boats
And eight little boats, then a fleet of little boats
Then a great big fleet of great big boats
All catchin' herring, bringin' into shore
Sailin' out again, an' bringin' in 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 darnin' socks for eight little feet
I am 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
An' 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
Low and behold, if I still love you

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 dream with you
