Every night I hope and pray
dream lover [bad word] my way
girl to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her charms

Cause 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 I hand that can hold
To feel you near as I grow old

Cause I want a girl to call my own
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
'Til all my lover's [bad word] [bad word] 

Cause I want a girl to call my own
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
'Til all my lover's [bad word] [bad word] 

Cause I want a girl to call my own
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
