              Verse 1: 
 
C                                    Am 
Every night I hope and pray, a dream lover will come my way 
C                                     Am 
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms 
          C   / /     G7   / /      C   / /     F 
Because I want      a girl      to call      my own 
         C     Am       Dm7             G7       C    G/// 
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone. 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
C                                    Am 
Dream lover, where are you - with a love oh so true, 
C                                      Am 
And a hand that I can hold, to feel you near when I grow old? 
          C    / /     G7  / /     C    / /     F 
Because I want      a girl      to call      my own 
         C     Am       Dm7             G7       C     C7 
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
F 
Some-day, I don't know how 
C 
I hope you'll hear my plea 
D7 
Some-way, I don't know how 
G7 
She'll bring her love to me 
 
 
Verse 3: 
 
C                                Am 
Dream lover, until then, I'll go to sleep and dream again 
C                                    Am 
That's the only thing to do, until my lover's dreams come true 
          C    / /    G7   / /     C    / /     F 
Because I want      a girl      to call      my own 
         C     Am       Dm7             G7       C 
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone.
