[M] Why can’t I sleep, why am I still awake,
A crescent moon hangs above this foreign sky,
I wish I could close my eyes and dream of you,
I wonder how she’s doing, can she feel my heart from here,
I hope she’s awake, she’s half a world away.

[D] Just let me hear your voice, I need you here,
I need you with me through this endless night,
Hold my love forever in your heart,
Tell me baby, how do you sleep tonight.

[M] I’ve been away so long, this isn’t my first time far away,
You know I had to do this, I hope she understands,
Hi honey, did I wake you, I’m having trouble sleeping tonight,
It’s midnight here, what time is it there, are the kids alright.

[D] Just let me hear your voice, I need you here,
I need you with me through this endless night,
Hold my love forever in your heart,
Tell me baby, how do you sleep tonight.

[F] I found your shirt, I hold it tight,
Can’t sleep in our bed, I’m curled on the couch at night,
I miss you, I love you, when are you coming home,
I’m going out of my head.

[M] Honey I can’t talk now, the base went on alert,
I’ll call when I can, just remember I love you,
Give my boys a hug, I love you dear, I’ve got to go.

[F] I love you, don’t hang up dear, just let me hear your voice.
[M] I love you.
[F] Bye-bye baby, I love you.

[F] Just let me hear your voice, I need you here,
I need you with me, please don’t leave me,
Hold my love forever in your heart.
[D] Tell me baby, how do you sleep.
Male (Answer):
Baby, I love you, please believe me.
We’ll be together soon.

Duet (Outro):
Just let me hear your voice — I need you here.
I need you with me — please don’t leave.
Hold me in your heart.
Tell me — how do you sleep? (How do you sleep?)
