What Do You Dream Of?

What do you dream of, my ruddy faced boy?

Of rivers and oceans and wooden boat toys?

Of taming the seas in a pirate cap?

Of searching for gold with a treasure map?

What do you dream of, my fair haired girl?

Of kings and queens and crowns of pearl?

Of dancing and twirling at a royal ball?

Of singing an aria in a great music hall?

What do you dream of, my sweet little babe?

Of kisses and hugs and good-nights bade?

Of mother and father and blankets so cozy?

Of smiles and giggles and cheeks oh-so rosy?

Dream your sweet dreams, my tiny sweet child.

Dream of lions running free in the wild.

Dream of adventure out on the high seas.

Dream of swinging from the tallest trapeze.

Dream of singing and dancing til dawn.

Dream of flying on the back of a swan.

Dream of your mother and your father, too.

And one day, when you're grown, may these dreams all come true.
