"Dreamin' about babies"- need lyrics

Jody

I THINK that's the title. No idea who sings it. I've only heard the song twice, and I want to share it with a newly expectant friend. (maybe I'll win over a new country music fan)
Great site! Glad I found it. ~Jody

Welcome aboard Jody. I have no idea. Maybe more words would help, then again maybe not.(not for me anyway)

Hi Cowboy. Thanks for the welcome and the reply.
I typed "dreamin' about babies" into my browser and a whole bunch of stuff came up about Bob Carlisle. I didn't find any lyrics tho, and it looks like most of his stuff is gospel. Could it be the same singer?
I don't remember enough from the song to post even a full verse.
In the song, he's talking to his girlfriend about wedding bands, and he's saying that his idea of how it should be is changing. He's "seeing itty-bitty shoes...and dreamin' about babies".

Lately (Dreamin' About Babies)
by Bob Carlisle
from Stories From The Heart

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's never been my style to ruin a good thing

Oh but lately
I've been thinkin' 'bout a change of plans
Maybe get a couple wedding bands
And do something crazy
Maybe get 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

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

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

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

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 family Oldsmobile
I can't believe just how good it feels
To be dreamin' 'bout babies

Can't believe just how good it feels

Hope that helps!!!

=)
