Ev'ry 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 a girl
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 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
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 don't have to dream alone
