Every night I hope in 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 a girl to call my own

I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone



Dream lover where are you with the love oh so true

And the hands that I can hold to feel you near as I grow old

Because I want a girl...



Some day 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

Have the only thing to do till all my love dreams come true

Because I want a girl...

[ fiddle - steel ]

Dream lover until then...

Because I want a girl to call my own...
