The Man I Love
Sophie Milman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 will 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

Maybe I will 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
