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
