Lyrics
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 aloneDream lover, where are you
With a love, oh, so true
And the hand that I 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 aloneSomeday, 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 meDream 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 aloneDream 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 alonePlease don’t make me dream alone
I beg you don’t make me dream alone
No, I don’t wanna dream
