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 (yeah-yeah, yeah) 
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah) 
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah) 
My own (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 the hand that I can hold 
To feel you near as I grow old 
'Cause 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 
'Cause 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 
'Cause I want (yeah-yeah, yeah) 
A girl (yeah-yeah, yeah) 
To call (yeah-yeah, yeah) 
My own (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 make me dream alone 
No, I don't wanna dream
