Story behind the song
Written by Teri L. Thompson.
I was working nights, right behind where someone that I had it bad for, lived. Being too shy to express my feelings, I thought this would be a great way to accomplish it, if it were really possible. Sort of like, if we all could wiggle our nose to get what or to where we needed!
Lyrics
ACROSS THE NIGHT
Teri L. Thompson c. 1997
Spoken: (Lying here, wanting you)
If I could reach across the night
into your dreams
to show you how I feel
Id tell it to you right
won’t need no words
to show you that my love is real
The night is my cloak
to hide my passion
the daytime breaks my will
If I could reach across the night
into your dreams
you’d know just how I feel
I am A twice shy girl
afraid of what I feel...
Life has been unkind
and now I feel I’m blind
can’t see when love is real
When my heart is on the line
need more than just A sign
to let you know my will
If I could reach across the night
into your dreams
you’d know just how it feels
The night is my cloak
to hide my passion
the daytime breaks my will
If I could reach across the night
into your dreams
you’d know just how I feel
I am A twice shy girl
afraid of what I feel...
Life has been unkind
and now I feel I’m blind
can’t see when love is real
When my heart is on the line
need more than just A sign
to let you,let you know my will
If I could reach across the night
into your dreams
you’d know just how it feels
I am A twice shy girl
(I am A twice shy girl)
Afraid of what I feel
(afraid of what I feel)
I want A love that’s real
(I want A love that’s real)
If I could reach, across the night
you’d know my will...
If I could reach
across the night
you’d know how it feels...
