Lyrics

When you (Dm)close your eyes and you go to sleep

and it’s down you to the sound ing of a heart beat

I can hear the things that you’re dream ing a bout;

when you o pen up your heart rets and the truth comes out.

You tell me that you want me,

you tell me that you need me,

you tell me that you love me.

And I (Bb)know that I’m right, ’cause I (C5)hear it in the night.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

When I (Dm)hold you in my you arms at night

and it’s don’t you know you’re sleep ing in a spot light?

I And all your dreams that you keep in a side;

when you’re tell ing me the sec you that you just can’t hide.

You tell me that you want me,

you tell me that you need me,

you tell me that you love me.

And I (Bb)know that I’m right, ’cause I (C5)hear it in the night.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

When I (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

When you I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

I hear the sec rets that you keep

when you’re (Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.

(Dm7)talk ing in your sleep.
