The Man I Love
Longing for Love: The Melodic Dreams of The Man I Love
Lyrics
When the mellow moon begins to beam
Expressing anticipation as the moonlight appears.
Every night I dream a little dream
Indicating the regular occurrence of dreaming at night.
And of course Prince Charming is the theme
Highlighting the recurring theme of Prince Charming in dreams.
The he, for me.
Referring to the ideal man, Prince Charming.
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 reality.
To me it's clear
Asserting a clear understanding despite the rarity of dreams coming true.
That he'll appear.
Expressing confidence in the eventual appearance of Prince Charming.
Some day he'll come along, the man I love
Anticipating the future arrival of the desired man.
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
Describing the envisioned qualities of the awaited man.
And when he comes my way,
Anticipating the man's approach.
I'll do my best to make him stay.
Expressing the intention to make the awaited man stay.
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Anticipating mutual understanding through a smile.
And in a little while, he'll take my hand
Expecting the man to take the speaker's hand after a short time.
And though it seems absurd
Recognizing the potential strangeness of the situation.
I know we both won't say a word.
Anticipating silent communication between the speaker and the man.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Contemplating the possibility of meeting the man on a Sunday.
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Considering the chance of meeting the man on a Monday or another day.
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Expressing confidence in eventually meeting the awaited man.
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
Anticipating a positive outcome on Tuesday.
He'll build a little home just meant for two
Envisioning a shared home for the speaker and the awaited man.
From which I'll never roam, who would? would you?
Expressing the desire to remain in the home with the awaited man.
And so, all else above,
Prioritizing love above all else in life.
I'm waiting for the man I love.
Expressing patient anticipation for the arrival of the awaited man.
