All of the night you hold out for love
You give what you have; still, that's not enough
What went wrong?
'Cause now what we share are too many fears
Too many secrets, too many years
Tonight

[Chorus]
Tell me what you dream at night while you're sleepin'
Tell me what you see at night in your dreams
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight
Or, darlin', is it me?
Tell me what you dream at night while you sleep

Deep in the night you whisper so low.
I lay by your side, I felt so alone,
Alone.
I reached for your arms, you called out a name.
It wasn't my own. It caused me so much pain,
Inside. 

[Chorus]

Tell me what you dream at night while you're sleepin'
Tell me what you see at night in your dreams
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight
Or, darlin', is it me?
Tell me what you dream at night
Dream at night
Oh, baby, dream at night while you're sleepin'
