Ev'ry night, I hope and pray 
dream lover [bad word] my way 
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 don't have to dream alone 

Dream lover, where are you 
With a love oh so [bad word] 
And a hand that I can hold 
To feel you near when I grow old? 

Someday--I don't know how 
I hope you'll hear my please 
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 
Until my lover's [bad word] [bad word]
