The Man I Love
Yearning for Love: Embracing Dreams of a Whimsical Romance
Lyrics
When the mellow moon begins to beam
Expressing the start of a dreamy atmosphere with the appearance of the moon.
Every night I dream a little dream
Describing a recurring dream experienced every night.
And of course Prince Charming is the theme
Identifying the central theme of the dream as finding a romantic partner (Prince Charming).
The he, for me.
Referring to the ideal partner as "he" and expressing a personal connection.
Although I realize as well as you
Acknowledging the rarity of dreams coming true, adding a sense of realism.
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
Reiterating the infrequency of dreams manifesting in reality.
To me it's clear
Asserting a clear understanding of the dream's improbability.
That he'll appear.
Expressing confidence in the eventual appearance of the ideal partner.
Some day he'll come along, the man I love
Anticipating the future arrival of the long-awaited "man I love."
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
Describing the expected qualities of the ideal partner, emphasizing size and strength.
And when he comes my way,
Envisioning the moment when the ideal partner comes into the singer's life.
I'll do my best to make him stay.
Expressing commitment to making the ideal partner stay once found.
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Anticipating non-verbal communication through a smile when the ideal partner looks at the singer.
And in a little while, he'll take my hand
Expecting physical contact as a sign of affection and connection.
And though it seems absurd
Acknowledging the potential strangeness of the situation but expecting silence between them.
I know we both won't say a word.
Confident that there won't be a need for words between the singer and the ideal partner.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Contemplating the possibility of meeting the ideal partner on a specific day (Sunday).
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Considering various days for the potential meeting but unsure of the actual timing (Monday).
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Remaining optimistic about meeting the ideal partner at some point.
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
Speculating that Tuesday might bring positive news regarding the ideal partner.
He'll build a little home just meant for two
Envisioning a future where the ideal partner and the singer share a home for two.
From which I'll never roam, who would? would you?
Expressing a desire to stay in the home with the ideal partner.
And so, all else above,
Prioritizing the love for the ideal partner above all else.
I'm waiting for the man I love.
Patiently waiting for the arrival of the "man I love."
