SLEEPIN' WITH THE RADIO ON
(Steve Davis)


Charly McClain - 1981


My heart beats with the lonely rain 
Wishing I could see your face again
Change the dial on the radio
Find something playing kind'a bluesy and slow

If things were only like they used to be
We'd be lyin' in love tonight
I wish you'd call me on the telephone
I don't wanta spend another night alone

Sleepin' with the radio on 
It's the only way I can make it till dawn
Sleepin' with the radio on 
You're on my mind and I can't forget you

It's getting late, almost quarter-to-four 
And I hear a knock at my door
Stumble in the dark and hear your voice again 
Open up the door and let the sunshine in

Take me in your arms and make love nice and slow 
It's so good to be this close to you
No more nights of sleepin' alone
No more days with these lovesick blues

'Cause we'll be sleepin' with the radio on 
Let's take the rest of the day to get it back together
And I'll unplug the telephone 
Now that you're here I'm gonna love you forever

Sleepin' with the radio on 
I don't want more of those nights all alone
Sleepin' with the radio on 
You're on my mind and I can't forget you
Sleepin' with the radio on 
I don't want more of those nights all alone
Sleepin' with the radio on ...... FADE
