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 won't have to dream alone

dream lover where are you

with a love that's oh so true

and a hand that i can hold

to feel her near as i grow old

cause i want

a girl

to call

my own

i want a dream lover

so i won't have to dream alone

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 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 won't have to dream alone

instrumental

cause i want

a girl

to call

my own

i want a dream lover

so i don't have to dream alone

dream lover until then

i 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

don't make me dream alone

i beg don't make me dream alone

don't make me dream alone

i don't wanna dream alone
