Faith Hill Sleeping With The Telephone Lyrics

Sleeping With The Telephone Lyrics

f/ Reba McEntire



Verse 1: (Faith Hill)

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 hes gone to some foreign land



Chorus: (Both)

And I cry cuz i'm all alone

And the nights get so cold and long

And I try not to think he wont come home

But I'm sleepin' with the telephone



Verse 2: (Reba McEntire)

The yellow ribbon on my neighbors gate

Always reminds me that someones 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



Chorus: (Both)

And I cry cuz i'm all alone

And the nights get so cold and long

And I try not to think he wont come home

But I'm sleepin' with the telephone



Bridge: (Both)

I lose him in my darkest dreams

And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat

So I get up

I cant take anymore

Sometimes I hate how much I love him

But everyday I love him more



And I try not to think he wont come home

But I'm sleepin' with the telephone



(Reba McEntire)

Somethin' awakes me from where he should be

I reach for him

The telephone rings
