1
I knew who he was
2
When I took his name
3
But somehow knowin'
4
Is just not the same late at night
5
He knows the danger
6
But he does what he does
7
He calls it duty
8
But I call it love
9
So here I am
10
While he's gone
11
To some foreign land
12
[Chorus:]
13
And I cry
14
'Cause I'm all alone
15
And the nights get so cold and long
16
And I try not to think he won't come home
17
But I'm sleeping with the telephone
18
The yellow ribbon on my neighbor's gate
19
Always reminds me that someone's awake
20
Just like me
21
I hear the sirens
22
And I watch the news
23
He laughs and leaves with his gun
24
And his blue uniform
25
And I pray God keeps him safe from harm
26
[Chorus]
27
I loose him in my darkest dreams
28
And my blood runs cold and my heart skips a beat
29
So I get up, I can't take anymore
30
Sometimes I hate how much I love him
31
But everyday I love him more
32
And I try not to think he won't come home
33
But I'm sleeping with the telephone
34
Something awakes me from where he should be
35
I reach for him, the telephone rings
