This Is The Army - I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep Lyrics

1946 Broadway
This Is The Army the Musical - I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep Lyrics

The song is written by Irving Berlin.

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 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
(Dreaming, dreaming,
dreaming of you 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,
dreaming, dreaming too
(Dreaming too)

Opening Chorus
This Is The Army, Mr. Jones
I'm Getting Tired So I Can Sleep
I Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen
The Army’s Made a Man Out of Me
Mandy
Ladies of the Chorus
That Russian Winter
What the Well Dressed Man in Harlem Will Wear
American Eagles
Head in the Clouds
Stage Door Canteen
Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning
This Time Is the Last Time
