Reba McEntire, Faith Hill - Sleeping With The Telephon lyrics

I knew who he was when I took his name
But some how no one
Is just not the same 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 because I'm 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 neighbor'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 because I'm 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 loose him in my darkest dreams
And my blood runs cold and
My heart skips a beat
So I get up I can't take anymore
Sometimes I hate how much I love him
But everyday I love him more

And I try not to think he won't come home
But I'm sleeping with the telephone

Something wakes me from where he should be
I reach for him the telephone rings
