The Man I Love lyrics

When the mellow moon begins to beam

Every night I dream a little dream

And of course Prince Charming is the theme

The he, for me.

Although I realize as well as you

It is seldom that a dream comes true,

To me it's clear

That he'll appear.

Some day he'll come along, the man I love

And he'll be big and strong, the man I love

And when he comes my way,

I'll do my best to make him stay.

He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand

And in a little while, he'll take my hand

And though it seems absurd

I know we both won't say a word.

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,

Maybe Monday, maybe not

Still I'm sure to meet him one day

Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.

He'll build a little home just meant for two

From which I'll never roam, who would? would you?

And so, all else above,

I'm waiting for the man I love
