REBA MCENTIRE - Sleeping With The Telephone ( Faith Hill ) lyrics

Reba McEntire(ft. Faith Hill)

Faith:

I knew who he was when I took his name

In somehow knowin'

Its just not the same late at night

He knows the danger

But he does what he does

He call it duty

But I call it love

So here I am

While he's gone

To some foreign land

Both:

And I cry

Cause 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

Reba:

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

Both:

And I cry

Cause 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

Reba:

I loose him in my darkest dreams

Faith:

And my blood runs cold

And my heart skips a beat

Reba:

So I get up

I can't take anymore

Both:

Sometimes I hate how much I love him

But everyday I love him more

Both:

And I try not to think he won't come home

But I'm sleeping with the telephone

Faith:

Something awakes me from where he should be

I reach for him....the telephone rings
