Lyrics Ben E. King

Ben E. King

Dream Lover

Ev'ry night, I hope and pray

A dream lover will come my way

A girl to hold in my arms

And know the magic of her charms

(Chorus:)

Because 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 true

And a hand that I can hold

To feel you near when I grow old?

(Repeat chorus)

Because I want a girl

To call my own

I want a dream lover

So I don't have to dream alone

(Bridge:)

Someday--I don't know how

I hope you'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

Until my lover's dreams come true

(Repeat chorus)

Because I want a girl

To call my own

I want a dream lover

So I don't have to dream alone
