the man i love
GORME Eydie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
The song "The Man I Love" by GORME Eydie is a romantic, dreamy ballad that expresses the longing and hope for finding true love. The opening lines, "When the mellow moon begins to beam, Every night I dream a little dream," set the stage for the dreamy nature of the song. The singer dreams of finding her Prince Charming, but she's also aware that dreams rarely come true. However, she's optimistic that at some point, the man she loves will come along.
The song's chorus is the most memorable and catchy part, as the singer sings about how the man she loves will be "big and strong" and how she'll do her best to make him stay. She envisions a future with him, where they'll build a home together that's "just meant for two." The song ends with her expressing her unwavering commitment to waiting for the man she loves.
The song's message is timeless, as it captures the essence of what so many people hope to find in a relationship: a deep, abiding love that lasts a lifetime. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the melody is hauntingly beautiful, making it a classic love song that has stood the test of time.

This is a stellar performance by one of the best god given talented women to ever walk the earth. Eydie knew how to deliver a song, and if you had the chance to hear her you were not disappointed. She has a great voice, and we were lucky to have her as long as we did. Eydie, you will be missed but we can still hear all her great songs today.

I was lucky enough to grow up in era where this was the standard on TV variety shows - you can't find this quality anymore - simply stunning.
@musicloveBH
I'm 18 and I ADORE this music!. I just wish more kids were brought up on it like me. It's sad, but at least we have artists like Michael Bublé who are trying to bring it back. Maybe some day . . .
@dougmilesmedia
This is what entertainment on TV used to be and should be again. Hopefully it will. Eydie is great!
@Robert4770
Flawless performance one of the greatest female singers of all time
@stevestearns2241
Eydie...You will be sadly missed. Your voice moves me you put heart and soul into your songs. Eydie Gorme....rest in peace.
@conradsdad
kids today have no idea what a singer is. just a voice and the music in the background rather than the other way around, no special enhancements or effects. just a voice. oohhhh what a singer she is.
@albertdiner
What video. High resolution, great singing, and a fantastic setting.
@lynngilliam5013
Never get tired of hearing great music! Thank, and much more.

Those days of the 1960's and 1970's were so much better than today's. it's sad but true that our national sense of music has deteriorated so tragically. Young people have way too much constant stimulation -- they can't seem to "hear" anything musically unless there is the visual equivalent of an action movie going on in the background.
