I would assume that text layer is a flat color with layer styles applied. Here's what you need to do. First of all, alt-click on the line between the gleam layer and the text layer. The gleam should become grouped to the text and only appear over the text. Then play with blending modes and Levels to produce the desired effect.

Hope this helps, and good luck.

Well I tried that in image ready and photoshop and all that did was make the entire gradient disappear.

Duplicate the text layer. On the lower text layer, remove styles and fill with white. Rasterize thu upper text layer and blend out the white using blending options. Put the geam between the two text leyers.
