Sleepin’ With the Radio On Lyrics by Charly McClain

Surround Me With Love

1981

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
It's gettin' late, almost quarter-to-four
An' 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
[Chorus]
'Cause we'll be sleepin' with the radio on
Let's take the rest of the day to get it back 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
