The Man I Love
Modern Jazz Group Quartet Lyrics

When the mellow moon begins to beam,
At night, when the moon shines gently, I start to daydream.

Every night I dream a little dream,
I dream a small, hopeful dream every evening.

And of course Prince Charming is the theme,
My ideal lover is a fictional, perfect prince charming.

The he for me.
He is the one for me.

Although I realize as well as you
I understand that like you, dreams hardly ever come true.

It is seldom that a dream comes true,
The chances of my dream coming true are rare.

To me it's clear
But to me, it is crystal clear.

That he'll appear.
That one day he will come to me.

Some day he'll come along,
One day the perfect man for me will show up.

The man I love
The man I have been waiting for my whole life.

And he'll be big and strong,
He will be physically large and powerful.

And when he comes my way
When he finally arrives in my life.

I'll do my best to make him stay.
I will try my hardest to keep him with me forever.

He'll look at me and smile
When he first sees me, he will have a warm smile on his face.

I'll understand,
I will know what he is thinking and feeling.

And in a little while,
After a short time of being together.

He'll take my hand,
He will grasp my hand affectionately.

And though it seems absurd,
Although it may sound foolish.

I know we both won't say a word
Neither of us will need to speak because we will understand each other completely.

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Perhaps I will run into him on a Sunday.

Maybe Monday, maybe not,
Or maybe I will meet him on a Monday, or perhaps I won't.

Still I'm sure to meet him one day
But I am certain that sooner or later we will cross paths.

Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
Maybe Tuesday will be the lucky day when I finally meet him.

He'll build a little home
Together we will establish a cozy and quaint abode.

Just meant for two,
The house will be perfectly suited for the two of us.

From which I'll never roam,
I will never feel the need to leave because I will be content and fulfilled.

Who would, would you?
Wouldn't you agree with me on this?

And so all else above
Above everything else.

I'm waiting for the man I love.
I am eagerly waiting for the man who I truly love.
