The Man I Love Lyrics
Someday 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 we`ll never roam; Who would, would you?
And so all else above I`m waiting for the man I love
"The Man I Love" had the odd distinction of becoming a recognized
standard despite its having been (1)
thrown out of the musical for which it had been written
("Lady, Be Good!" in 1924); (2) sung in a show that flopped on the
road (the 1927 "Strike Up the
Band"); (3) added to and then cut from a third musical
("Rosalie"); (4) rejected when "Strike Up the Band" was
successfully revised in 1929. The reason for
the last situation was ironic: the song had become too well
known!
