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 () 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) (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
