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

'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone, oh

Dream lover, where are you?
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I can hold
Feel you near as I grow old

'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone, oh-oh

Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, 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
'Til 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, oh-oh

Someday, I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me

'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone, oh-oh

I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
