Ev'ry night, I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A boy to hold in my arms
And feel the magic of his charms.

Chorus:
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 as I grow old?

Chorus:
Because I want a boy
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 you'll hear my please
Some way, I don't know how
He'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 all my lover's dreams come true

Chorus:
Because I want a boy
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone.

Chorus:
Because I want a boy
To call my own
I want a dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone.

I don't have to dream alone.
Please don't make me dream alone...
