When beginning work on this story arc, it seemed quite logical to call it Dream Lover.  However, while writing, Jimmy Clanton's song came on the radio.  It seemed far more in keeping with Diana's character.   Maybe, eventually, she will get her dream lover.

                              


JUST A DREAM
Jimmy Clanton
DREAM LOVER
Bobby Darin
Just a dream, just a dream
All my plans and all my schemes
How could I think you'd be mine
The lies I'd tell myself each time.

How could I think we'd ever last?
We just can't seem to in the past
Just a dream I dream in vain
With you I'd only live in pain

Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now, I sit here crying
Please leave me alone

Why oh why do I love you?
How can I live in misery
I know that I won't forget you
But now I know it's too late for me.

Every 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

Dream lover,
where are you
with a love,
oh, so true?
And a hand that can hold,
to feel you near as I grow old?

Someday, I don't know how,
I hope she'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,
till all my lover's dreams come true
'cause I want (yeah-yeah yeah)
a girl (yeah-yeah yeah)
to call (yeah-yeah yeah)
my own (yeah-yeah)
I want a dream lover
so I don't have to dream alone
