I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep

Out on a hike all day, dear

Part of the army grind

Weary and long the way here

But really

I don't mind



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

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
