[Verse:]
|
Out on a hike all day, dear
|
Part of the army grind
|
Weary and long the way, dear
|
But really I don't mind
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I'm getting tired so I can sleep
|
I want to sleep so I can dream
|
I want to dream so I can be with you
|
|
I've got your picture by my bed
|
'Twill soon be placed beneath my head
|
To keep me company the whole night through
|
|
For a little while, whatever befalls
|
I will see your smile till reveille calls
|
|
I hope you're tired enough to sleep
|
And please sleep long enough to dream
|
And look for me for I'll be dreaming too
|
|

I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep
