A Hundred Million Miracles / When the Children Are Asleep / I Know It Can Happen Again / My Little Girl (From Soliloquy)

My father says that children keep growing Rivers keep flowing too My father says he doesn't know why But somehow or other they do 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 (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 (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! Starting out, so foolishly small It's hard to believe you will grow at all It's hard to believe that things like you Can ever turn out to be men But I've seen it happen before So I know it can happen again Food and sleep and plenty of soap Molasses and sulphur, and love, and hope The winters go by, the summers fly And all of a sudden you're men! I have seen it happen before And I know it can happen again And I know it can happen again My little girl Pink and white as peaches and cream is she My little girl is half again as bright As girls are meant to be Dozens of boys pursue her Many a likely lad Does what he can to woo her From her faithful dad She has a few pink and white young fellas of two and three But my little girl gets hungry every night And she comes home to me Seen it happen before My little girl, pink and white I've seen it happen before (My little girl gets hungry every night) And I know it can happen again (And she comes home to me)
