Living the Dream

A lot of folks are famous
With fancy clothes and cars
They flit from Rome to Paris
And mingle with the stars
They sail on ocean liners
And fly in private jets
They’re certain what they’ve got
Is all as good as it can get

But they’d be wrong, you know
Because…

I’m the one who's living the dream
The dream of a perfect life
Five children call me their mother
And a good man calls me his wife
Oh, as strange as it seems
I’m the one living the dream

I do my share of travelling
To the laundry room each day
And ride my kiddies’ tricycles
When they call me out to play
I’ve torn my favourite denims
And it makes me laugh to see
My daughters’ dainty Barbie dolls
Are better dressed than me

But that’s all right, you know
Because…

I’m the one who's living the dream
The dream of a perfect life
Five children call me their mother
And a good man calls me his wife
Oh as strange as it seems
I’m the one living the dream

The only treasures
I need in the world
Are my three rowdy boys
My two girly girls
And my husband's loving arms at night

I’m the one who's living the dream
The dream of a perfect life
Five children call me their mother
And a good man calls me his wife
Oh, as strange as it seems
I’m the one living the dream

I may not be rich
But I've found my niche
And I’m the one living the dream
...Living the dream
