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, dear
But really, I don't mind

I'm getting tired so I can sleep
I wanna sleep so I can dream
I wanna 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 you 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
