Every night I hope and pray

A dream lover will come my way

A girl to hold in my arms

And feel the magic of her charms

Because I want someone 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

I need a hand that I can hold

To feel you near as I grow old

Because I want someone to call my own

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

Some day 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

'Til all my loving dreams come true

Because I want someone to call my own

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

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