All of your life
You hold out for love
You give what you have
Still that's not enough

What went wrong
'Cause now what we share
Is too many fears
Too many secrets
Too many years denied

Tell me what you dream at night
While you're sleeping
Tell me what you see at night
When you dream
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight
Or darling, is it me
Tell me what you dream at night

While you sleep
Deep in the night
You whispered 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 such pain inside

Tell me what you dream at night
While you're sleeping
Tell me what you see at night
When you dream
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight
Or darling is it me
Tell me what you dream at night
While you sleep
