Carousel movie - When Children Are Asleep lyrics
rate me<br>
Enoch<br>
I own a little house and I sail a little boat<br>
And the fish I catch I sell<br>
And in a manner of speakin' <br>
"I'm doin' very well."<br>
<br>
I love a little girl and she's in love with me<br>
And soon she'll be my bride.<br>
And in a manner of speakin'<br>
I should be satisfied.<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
Well, ain't you?<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
If I told you my plans and the things I intend<br>
It'll make ev'ry curl on your head stand on it<br>
<br>
When I make enough money outa one of my boat,<br>
I'll put all of my money in another little boat.<br>
I'll make twice as much outa two little boats,<br>
An' the first thing you know, I'll have four little boats;<br>
Then eight little boats, then a plenty little boats,<br>
Then a great big fleet of great big boats.<br>
All catchin' herring, bringin' into shore;<br>
Sailin' out again, an' bringin' more.<br>
An' more, an' more, an' more!<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
Who's gonna eat all that herring?<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
[Spoken]<br>
They ain't gonna be herring. I'm gonna put 'em in cans<br>
an' call 'em sardines. Aha... Gonna build a little sardine<br>
cannery. Then a big one, then the biggest one in the whole<br>
country. Oh, Carry, I'm gonna get rich on sardines. Ah!<br>
I mean, we're gonna get rich. You an' me an' all of us...<br>
<br>
[Sung]<br>
The first year we're married, <br>
We'll have one little kid.<br>
The second year we're goin' <br>
Have another little kid.<br>
You'll soon be donnin' socks<br>
For eight little feet-<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
I am not enough to another fleet!<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
We'll build a lot more rooms,<br>
Our dear little house will get bigger,<br>
Our dear little house will get bigger-<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
An' so will my figure!<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
[Spoken]<br>
Oh Carrie, can you imagine how it'll be when all the little<br>
kids are upstairs in their beds, and you and me sit alone <br>
by the firelight. Me in my armchair, and you on my knee-<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
Maybe...Maybe...<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
[Sung]<br>
When the children are asleep we sit and dream,<br>
The things that every other dad and mother dream.<br>
When the children are asleep and lights are low,<br>
If I still love you the way I love you today,<br>
You'll pardon my sayin', I told you so...<br>
When the children are asleep, I'll dream with you<br>
We'll think what fun we have had and be glad<br>
That it's all came true<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
When the children are asleep we sit and dream,<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
Dream all alone...<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
The things that every other dad and mother dream<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
Dreams that won't be interrupted...<br>
When the children are asleep and lights are low<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
Hold and behold... If I still love you<br>
The way I love you today,<br>
You'll pardon my sayin', I told you so...<br>
When the children are asleep, I'll dream with you<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
You'll dream with me...<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
We'll think what fun we have had and be glad<br>
That it's all came true!<br>
<br>
Enoch<br>
When today is a long time ago...<br>
<br>
Both<br>
You'll still hear me say<br>
That the best dream I know is you<br>
<br>
Carrie<br>
When the children are asleep I dream with you!<br>
<br>
