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...
