The Man I Love
              George Gershwin

When the mel-low moon be-gins to beam, 
Ev-'ry night I dream a lit-tle dream, 
And of course Prince Charm-ing is the theme 
The he for me. 

Al-though I re-al-ize as well as you, 
It is sel-dom that a dream comes true, 
To me it's clear 
That he'll ap-pear. 

Some day he'll come a-long 
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 un-der-stand; 
And in a lit-tle while 
He'll take my hand; 
And though it seems ab-surd, 
I know we both won't say a word._ 

May-be I shall meet him Sun-day, 
May-be Mon-day, may-be not; 
Still I'm sure to meet him one day, 
may-be Tues-day will be my good news day. 

He'll build a lit-tle home, 
Just meant for two, 
From which I'll nev-er roam, 
Who would, would you? 
And so all else a-bove, 
I'm wait-ing for the man I love.
