My Child

When shall the child
Of my dreams
Arrive?
Shortly, I hope.

In my dreams,
My love is with me.
In my dreams,
He'll stay 'til I leave.

One night my star will come,
And my wish will come true.
When, though,
Is what I want to know.

If it's a boy,
He will be strong.
A girl,
Will have my brains.

When shall the child
Of my dreams
Arrive?
Shortly, I hope.
