Dream Lover

Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And feel the magic of her charms
Because I want, someone, 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
I need a hand, that I can hold
To feel you near, as I grow old
Because I want, someone, to call, my own
I want a dream lover, so I don't have to dream alone.
Some day 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.
Dream lover, until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
'Til all my loving dreams come true
Because I want, someone, to call, my own
I want a dream lover, so I don't have to dream alone.
I want a dream lover, so I don't have to dream alone..
