Tell Me What You Dream
Gabrielle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She turned the key, opened the door
Was he there she wasn't sure
She didn't want to fight no more
She had good intentions
In that moment face to face
She saw the look upon his face
She held him in a tight embrace
There was warm affection

Took a while before she spoke
There were things she had to know
Compose herself and she said
Baby

Tell me what you dream, what you see
Tell me how you feel, oh yeah
Tell me what you dream
Will you share it all with me
What you dream
Baby you can talk to me

They agreed to meet halfway
They would take it day by day
He didn't want to lose her twice
That would cut him like a knife
He decided then and there to reveal his inner fears
He'd always loved her from the start
It was time to give his heart

Took a while before he spoke
There were things he had to know
Compose himself and he said
Baby

Tell me what you dream, what you see
Tell me how you feel, oh yeah
Tell me what you dream
Will you share it all with me
What you dream
Baby you can talk to me

Tell me what you dream
What you see
Tell me how you feel, oh yeah

Tell me what you dream, what you see
Tell me how you feel, oh yeah
Tell me what you dream
Will you share it all with me




What you dream
Baby you can talk to me
