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 (I want) A girl (a girl) To call (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 as I grow old Because I want (I want) A girl (a girl) To call (to call) My own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Someday, 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 Till all my lover's dreams come true Because I want (I want) A girl (a girl) To call (to call) My own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone Dream lover until then I'll go to sleep and dream again That's the only thing to do Till all my lover's dreams come true Because I want (I want) A girl (a girl) To call (to call) My own I want a dream lover So I don't have to dream alone
