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
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
