Sleeping With The Telephone lyrics Lyrics

Sleeping With The Telephone lyrics Faith Hill & Reba McEntire I knew who he was when I took his name But somehow knowing is just not the same late at night He knows the danger but he does what he does He calls it duty but I call it love, so here I am While he s gone to some foreign land And I cry cause I m all alone And the nights get so cold and long And I try not to think he won t come home But I m sleeping with the telephone The yellow ribbon on my neighbour s gate always reminds me that someone s awake just like me I hear the sirens and i watch the news He laughs and leaves with his gun and his blue uniform And I pray god keeps him safe from harm And I cry cause I m all alone And the nights get so cold and long And I try not to think he won t come home But I m sleeping with the telephone I lose him in my darkest dreams And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat So I get up, I can t take any more Sometimes I hate how much I love him But every day I love him more And I try not to think he won t come home But I m sleeping with the telephone Something awakes me from where he should be I reach for him, the telephone rings
