Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms
Because I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, where are you
With a love that's oh so true?
And the hand that I can hold
To keep you near as I grow old
'Cause I want a girl
To call my own
Oh, I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want a girl
To call, call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Lover (dream lover)
So I don't have to dream alone
Lover (dream lover)
So I don't have to dream alone
Don't let me dream alone
I don't wanna dream alone
