The Man I Love 1924 'Lady Be Good' & 'Strike Up The Band'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 27 Jan 2005

When the mellow moon begins to beam,
ev'ry 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.

[She:] Someday 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.

[He:] Someday she'll come along,
the girl I love.
Her smile will be a song,
the girl I love.
And when she comes my way,
I'll do my best to make her stay.
I'll look at her and smile,
she'll understand.
And in a little while
I'll take her hand.
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word.
Maybe I shall meet her Sunday,
maybe Monday, maybe not.
Still I'm sure to meet him one day,
maybe Tuesday will be
my good news day.
For her I'll do and dare
as ne'er before;
our hopes and fears we'll share,
for evermore.
And so all else above,
I'm waiting for the girl I love.
