Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
Someone 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 that's a-oh so true
And a hand I can hold
And keep near me as I grew old
Because I want a girl 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
Some way I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me, oh oh
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and I'll dream again
That's the only thing to do
Make my lovers dreams come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone, pick it up!
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and I'll dream again
That's the only thing to do
Til all my lovers dreams come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
A dream lover will come my way
Someone 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 that's a-oh so true
And a hand I can hold
And keep near me as I grew old
Because I want a girl 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
Some way I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me, oh oh
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and I'll dream again
That's the only thing to do
Make my lovers dreams come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone, pick it up!
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and I'll dream again
That's the only thing to do
Til all my lovers dreams come true
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me alone
