[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So, I don't have to dream alone

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So, I don't have to dream alone
[Bridge]
Someday, 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

[Verse 3]
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
'Til all my lovin' dreams come true

[Chorus]
Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a dream lover
So, I don't have to dream alone

[Outro]
Dream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true?
Dream lover
