When The Children Are Asleep - 1945

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 09 Jul 2001

When we've tucked the kids in their downy beds,
and listened to each one pray,
We'll kiss the tops of their tousled heads
and tiptoe quietly away.
We'll tiptoe into our sittin' room,
where we love to be by ourselves,
Where the flickrin' glow of the firelight
Makes the books wink down from their shelves.
And there ev'ry evenin', we'll always be,
Me in my armchair, You on my knee.

When the children are asleep,
We'll sit and dream
The things that ev'ry 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 of 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
The things that ev'ry 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 of you
We'll think what fun we have had
and be glad that it all came true!
