Ev'ry night, I hope and pray 
A dream lover will come my way 
A boy to hold in my arms 
										
And know the magic of her charms 
(Chorus:) 
Because I want a boy
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 
And a hand that I can hold 
To feel you near when I grow old? 
(Repeat chorus) 
(Bridge:) 
Someday--I don't know how 
I hope you'll hear my pleas
Some way--I don't know how 
He'll bring his love to me 
Dream lover, until then 
I'll go to sleep and dream again 
That's the only thing to do 
Until my lover's dreams come true
