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.      --- Instrumental ---      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...
