It's getting late, it must be two or later
I better go before they find I'm still here
Since we can't be together, when we turn out the lights
Promise me darling that you'll dream about me tonight

They get upset when they think that I've stayed too long
They're afraid of the things that we might do
But since we can't be together, when they turn out the lights
Promise me darling that you'll dream about me tonight

Bridge:

I know someday that we can sleep together
I know someday it'll be all right
But hold me in your arms just one more time
Before we say goodnight, hold me one more time

I wish that they could understand our feelings
But for now I guess we've got to play by their rules
And since we can't be together, when they turn out the lights
Promise me darling that you'll dream about me tonight
