Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover who 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, yeah, my own
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone
[Verse 2]
And dream lover, where are you?
With a love, oh, so true
And a hand that I can hold
To be 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
[Verse 3]
Yeah, someday I don't know how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
She'll bring her love to me
[Verse 4]
Dream lover, until then
I go to sleep, then I dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
[Chorus]
Because I want a girl to call, yeah, my own
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone
[Verse 5]
Ah, dream lover, until then
I go to sleep, then I dream again
That's the only thing I can do
Till all my lover's dreams come true
[Chorus]
'Cause I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I don't have to dream alone
[Outro]
Please don't make me dream alone
Baby, don't make me dream alone
No, I don't wanna dream alone
