My heart beats with the lonely rain, Wishin' I could see your face again. Change the dial on the radio, Find somethin' playin' kinda bluesy an' slow. If things were only like they used to be, With you lyin' in love tonight. I wish you'd call me on the telephone, I don't wanna 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 'an I can't forget you. It's gettin' late, almost quarter-to-four. I hear a knock at my door. Stumble in the dark an' hear your voice again, Open up the door an' let the sunshine in. Take me in your arms an' make love nice an' 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 together. An' 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.
