Verse 1: (Faith Hill)
|
I knew who he was when I took his name
|
But somehow knowing is just not the same late at night
|
He knows the danger but he does what he does
|
He calls it duty, but I call it love
|
So here I am
|
While hes gone to some foreign land
|
|
Chorus: (Both)
|
And I cry cuz i'm all alone
|
And the nights get so cold and long
|
And I try not to think he wont come home
|
But I'm sleepin' with the telephone
|
|
Verse 2: (Reba McEntire)
|
The yellow ribbon on my neighbors gate
|
Always reminds me that someones awake just like me
|
I hear the sirens and I watch the news
|
He laughs and leaves with his gun and his blue uniform
|
And I pray god keeps him safe from harm
|
|
Chorus: (Both)
|
And I cry cuz i'm all alone
|
And the nights get so cold and long
|
And I try not to think he wont come home
|
But I'm sleepin' with the telephone
|
|
Bridge: (Both)
|
I lose him in my darkest dreams
|
And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat
|
So I get up
|
I cant take anymore
|
Sometimes I hate how much I love him
|
But everyday I love him more
|
|
And I try not to think he wont come home
|
But I'm sleepin' with the telephone
|
|
(Reba McEntire)
|
Somethin' awakes me from where he should be
|
I reach for him
|
The telephone rings
|
