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
Just 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, oh, so true
And a hand that I can hold
Through the years as I grow old
Because I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone, no
Someday I don't know how
I hope that you'll hear my plea
Someway I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Ah, someday
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Until my lover's dream come true
Because I want a girl
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Please, don't make me dream alone
Ooh, I've got to hold on
Yet I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
Her love to me
Dream lover, until then
I'm going back to sleep and dream again
That's about the only thing I can do
Until my lover's dream come true
Because I want, want a girl
Just to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
No lover, I don't want to dream alone
Send me down, a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
