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
'Cause 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 I hand that can hold,
To feel you near as I grow old?
'Cause 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 she'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,
Till all my lover's dreams come true
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so
I don't have to dream alone

Please don't make me dream alone
I beg you don't make me dream alone

No, I don't wanna dream
