The Man I Love
Dreaming of Love's Arrival: The Man I Love
Lyrics
Someday he'll come along
Anticipation of a future encounter with a significant person.
The man I love
Describing the awaited person as "The man I love," implying deep affection.
And he'll be big and strong
Expectation of the awaited man being physically robust and powerful.
The man I love
Reiteration of the ideal qualities in the anticipated man.
And when he comes my way
Imagining the moment when the awaited man approaches.
I'll do my best to make him stay
Commitment to making an effort to keep the anticipated man in her life.
He'll look at me and smile
Envisioning a future interaction where the man looks at her with affection.
I'll understand
Expressing confidence in understanding the unspoken emotions between them.
Then in a little while
Anticipating a progression in their relationship in a short period.
He'll take my hand
Imagining a moment of physical connection as he takes her hand.
And though it seems absurd
Acknowledging that the situation may seem unlikely or fantastical.
I know we both won't say a word
Confident in the mutual understanding that words are not necessary.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Speculating on a potential day of meeting the awaited man.
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Uncertainty about the specific day of their meeting.
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Confidence in the inevitability of meeting the awaited man eventually.
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
Expressing hope that a particular day (Tuesday) will bring good news.
He'll build a little home
Envisioning a shared future with the awaited man, including building a home.
That's meant for two
Describing the home as meant for two, emphasizing intimacy.
From which I'll never roam
Commitment to staying in the home, symbolizing a lasting relationship.
Who would, would you
Rhetorical question about leaving the ideal home, implying dedication.
And so all else above
Highlighting the significance of the anticipated man above all else.
I'm dreaming of the man I love
Expressing a deep longing and daydreaming about the idealized love.
