A more recent video of Brenda finds her covering Bobby Darin's 1959 hit.
Words and music by Bobby Darin
Lyrics as sung by Brenda Lee
Every night I hope and pray
A dream lover will come my way
A boy to hold in my arms
And know the magic of his charms
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?
With a hand that I can hold,
To keep me warm when I grow old?
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 he'll hear my plea
Some day, 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,
Till all my lover's dreams come true
Because I want
a boy
to call
my own
I want a dream lover
so I don't have to dream alone
Dream lover, until then,
I'll go to sleep and dream again
That's the only thing to do,
Till all my lover's dreams come true
Because I want
a boy
to call
my own
I want a dream lover
so I don't have to dream alone
I want a dream lover
I want a dream lover
I want a dream lover
