Lately (Dreamin' About Babies)

Bob Carlisle


Verse 1: 
I used to think I had it made 
Every time we said goodnight. 
This little dating game we've played 
Has always seemed to feel alright. 

I've had my privacy, 
And your heart on a string 
And it'sn ever been my style 
To ruin a good thing. 

Chorus: 
Oh, but lately 
I've been thinkin' 'bout a 
Change of plans, 
Maybe get a couple wedding bands 
And do something crazy, 
Maybe ge a piece of land and see 
If we could start a little family tree. 
I don't know what's gotten into me, 
But I've been dreamin' 'bout babies. 

Verse 2: 
I know it can be hard 
These days to be a family man. 
I know that all the experts say, 
You need to live life while you can. 
I've heard psychology on what 
Makes true love true 
And I've read books on educated 
Points of view. 

Chorus 2: 
Oh, but lately 
I've been listenin' more to Dr. Suess 
Readin' up on Mother Goose, 
Seems she's quite a lady. 
I've been seein' lots of 
Pinks and blues 
And little bitty tennis shoes, 
Hearin' goodnight Daddy, 
I love you's, 
Yeah, I've been dreamin' 'bout babies. 

Bridge: 
I used to dream of fancy foreign cars, 
And black tie affairs, 
And how we'd live in separate 
Condos, while we climbed 
The golden stairs. 

Chorus 3: 
Oh, but lately 
I've been thinkin' that it 
Makes more sense 
To build a house with a picket fence 
And forget the Mercedes, 
Get some puppy-dogs and 
Trainin' wheels 
And a fmily Oldsmobile. 
I can't believe just how 
Good it feels 
To be dreamin' 'bout babies, 

Can't believe just how good it feels.
