Berlin Irving
This Is The Army (1942)
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
