Song Lyrics

Ev'ry night, I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A boy to hold in my arms
And know the magic of her 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 when I grow old?

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge:)
Someday--I don't know how
I hope you'll hear my pleas
Some way--I don't know how
He'll bring his 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

Dave Hall, Mariah Carey
