I’M GETTING TIRED SO I CAN SLEEP
(Irving Berlin (m & l) 1942)

Dinah Shore 1943

From Eddie Cantor Radio Show February 3 1943



I'm getting tired so I can sleep
I want to sleep so I can dream
I want to dream so I can be with you.

I've got your picture by my bed
'Twill soon be placed beneath my head
To keep me company the whole night through.

For a little while, whatever befalls
I will see your smile till reveille calls.

I hope you're tired enough to sleep
And please sleep long enough to dream
And look for me for I'll be dreaming too.

For a little while, whatever befalls
I will see your smile till reveille calls.

I hope you're tired enough to sleep
And please sleep long enough to dream
And look for me for I'll be dreaming too…
For I’ll be dreaming too.
