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 won't have to dream alone

                          Dream lover where are you
                         With a love that's oh so true
                           And a hand that I can hold
                        To feel her near as I grow old

                           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 go to sleep and dream again
                            That's the only thing to do
                    Till all my lover's dreams come true.
