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 won't have to dream alone.
Dream lover, where are you - with a love oh so true,
And a hand that I can hold, to feel you near when I grow old?
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone.
Bridge:
Someday, I don't know how, I hope you'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, until my lover's dreams come true,
Because I want a girl to call my own,
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone.
Bridge 2:
Someday, I don't know how, I hope you'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, until my lover's dreams come true,
Because I want a girl to call my own,
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone.
