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

Because I want
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
A girl
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To call
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
My own
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
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 as I grow old

Because I want
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
A girl
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To call
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
My own
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
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

Because I want
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
A girl
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To call
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
My own
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone

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

Because I want
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
A girl
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To call
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
My own
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
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 you make me dream alone
No, no, I don't wanna dream alone
Come on, my darling, don't make me dream alone
Please don't make me dream alone
