The Man I Love
Yearning for Love: A Dreamer's Melody
Lyrics
When the mellow moon begins to beam
Expressing anticipation as the moon appears.
Every night I dream a little dream
Recurring dreams experienced every night.
And of course Prince Charming is the theme
Highlighting the recurring theme of a idealized romantic partner (Prince Charming).
The he, for me.
Specifying the desired gender pronoun for the dream partner (he).
Although I realize as well as you
Acknowledging the rarity of dreams coming true.
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
Emphasizing the infrequency of dreams becoming a reality.
To me it's clear
Asserting a clear belief in the eventual appearance of the dream partner.
That he'll appear.
Confidently anticipating the arrival of the ideal partner.
Some day he'll come along, the man I love
Expressing hope for the future arrival of the dream man.
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
Describing desired qualities of the dream man (big and strong).
And when he comes my way,
Anticipating the moment when the dream man appears.
I'll do my best to make him stay.
Committing to efforts to make the dream man stay.
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Expecting non-verbal communication through a smile.
And in a little while, he'll take my hand
Anticipating physical contact and connection.
And though it seems absurd
Recognizing the potential strangeness of the situation.
I know we both won't say a word.
Expecting a shared understanding without verbal communication.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Contemplating the possibility of meeting the dream man on a Sunday.
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Considering meeting the dream man on various days, with uncertainty.
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Expressing confidence in the eventual meeting with the dream man.
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
Suggesting optimism about a particular day being a day of good news.
He'll build a little home just meant for two
Envisioning a shared home for the couple.
From which I'll never roam, who would? would you?
Committing to a stable and rooted relationship.
And so, all else above,
Prioritizing love above all other considerations.
I'm waiting for the man I love.
Patiently waiting for the arrival of the dream man.
