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

And someday, I don't know how
I hope you'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
And that's the only thing that I can do
To make a lover's dreams come true

Because I want, I said, a girl
Just to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Dream lover, until then
I know that I'll go to sleep and I'm gonna dream again
And that's the only thing that I can do, baby
Just to make
Just to make a lover's dreams come true

All because I want, I said, a girl
Just to call, to call my own, yeah
I said I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

Baby, don't let me dream alone
Hmm, and I don't wanna dream alone
No, no, don't make me dream alone, baby
Oh
