I heard this song on a store PA system. I hadn’t heard this song in years. Maybe some SDoper might recall these lyrics from a late 1980’s or 1990’s song:

“Tell me what you dream at night when you’re sleeping…”

Sorry, but I don’t remember any more…

**Restless Heart** fan are you?

_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._
