I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep
From the All-Soldier Show "This Is The Army"
Words and Music by Irving Berlin
Published 1942

Out on a hike all day dear,
part of the Army grind.
Weary and long the way, dear
But really I don't mind.

[chorus]
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 thru
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
