The Man I Love
George Gershwin
Some day he'll come along,
The man I love;
And he'll be big and strong,
The man I love;
And when he comes my way,
I'll do my best to make him stay.
He'll look at me and smile -
I'll understand;
And in a little while
He'll take my hand;
And though it seems absurd,
I know we both won't say a word.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday - maybe not;
Still I'm sure to meet him one day -
Maybe Tuesday
Will be my good news day.
He'll build a little home
Just meant for two;
From which I'll never roam -
Who would? Would you?
And so all else above,
I'm waiting for
The man I love!
