The Man I Love
Anticipation of Love's Arrival: A Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
Someday he'll come along
Someday, a special person will enter my life
The man I love
This person is the one I love
And he'll be big and strong
Anticipation that he will be physically powerful and resilient
The man I love
Emphasizing that he is the man she loves
And when he comes my way
When he approaches, she will make an effort to keep him in her life
I'll do my best to make him stay
Expressing commitment to making the relationship endure
He'll look at me and smile
When he looks at her with affection, she will comprehend his feelings
I'll understand
Confidence that they will connect emotionally
And in a little while
Expectation that he will take her hand soon
He'll take my hand
Implies a progression in the relationship, holding hands as a symbol of intimacy
And though it seems absurd
Acknowledging the seeming irrationality of love
I know we both won't say a word
Belief that in certain moments, words are unnecessary between them
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Contemplating the possibility of meeting him on a Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Considering different days when they might cross paths
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Expressing confidence that they will eventually meet
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
Optimism about a particular day being filled with positive news
He'll build a little home
Envisioning a future where they create a home together
Just meant for two
Describing a home meant for both of them
From which I'll never roam
Commitment to staying together and not wandering
Who would, would you?
Rhetorical question, emphasizing the desire for stability
And so, all else above,
Prioritizing their love above all else
I'm waiting for the man I love
Affirming the patience in waiting for the man she loves
