The Man I Love
Longing for Love: A Dreamer's Anticipation
Lyrics
Someday he'll come along, the Man I love
Someday she anticipates meeting the man she loves.
And he'll be big and strong, the Man I love
She envisions this man as being physically robust and powerful.
And when he comes my way I'll do my best to make him stay
Expresses her determination to make the man stay when he comes into her life.
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
She expects a non-verbal understanding between them when he looks at her and smiles.
Then in a little while he'll take my hand
Anticipates him taking her hand after a short while.
And though it seems absurd I know we both won't say a word, a word
Despite the apparent absurdity, she believes they won't need to speak at that moment.
Maybe I will meet him Sunday, maybe Monday, maybe not
Expresses uncertainty about when she might meet him (Sunday, Monday, or maybe not).
But I'm sure to meet him one day. Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
Despite the uncertainty, she is confident that she will meet him eventually, hoping for good news on Tuesday.
He'll build a little home for just us two
Envisions the man building a home for both of them.
from which I'll never roam who would? Would you?
States her intention to stay in the home he builds, posing a rhetorical question to emphasize its desirability.
Mm, all else above I'm waiting for the man I love
Reiterates her patience and anticipation for the man she loves.
Well, maybe I'll meet him Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Repeats the idea of meeting him on various days, emphasizing the uncertainty of the timing.
Or maybe not
Reiterates the uncertainty of meeting him.
But I'm sure to meet him someday. Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
Despite uncertainty, she remains confident about eventually meeting him, again expressing hope for good news on Tuesday.
He'll build a little home for just us two
Reiterates the vision of a shared home being built by the man.
from which I'll never roam. Who would? Would you, would you?
Repeats her intention to stay in the home, posing the rhetorical question again.
Mm, all else above I'm waiting for the man I love
Concludes by reiterating her patience and waiting for the man she loves.
