This song was recorded by one of my favorites, Rick Nelson, during the era of Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band. I took his arrangement pretty much note for note. Just one more nod to Rick. I love this version of the Bobby Darin tune.
Lyrics
Everynight I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms
And feel the magic of her charms
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 as I grow old
Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a
Dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
Someday, I don't how
I hope she'll hear my plea
Someway, I don't know how
You'll bring her love to me
Solo
Dream lover until then
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do
Till all my lover dreams come true
Because I want
A girl
To call
My own
I want a
Dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
I want a
Dream lover
So I don't have to dream alone
