Three o'clock in the morning And it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night I've been listenin' to your dreams and gettin' very low Wondering what I can do Maybe I'm being foolish 'Cause I haven't heard you mention anybody's name at all How I wish I could be sure it's me that turns you on Each time you close your eyes I've heard it said that dreamers never lie You've been talkin' in your sleep Sleepin' in your dreams Wish some sweet lover Holdin' on so tight loving her the way You used to love me Talkin' in your sleep with lovin' on your mind
