The Man I Love

Lyrics

[JOAN, spoken] Jim, did you hear the news? Isn't it wonderful to think that all over the country tonight People are waiting, millions of them Waiting to hear that we've gone into it [JIM, spoken] You're acting as if you like this war [JOAN, spoken] Like it? How can you talk that way? [JIM, spoken] Listen, I'm a peace-loving citizen And I'm supposed to go over there and fight? For what? To make the world save for Fletcher's Cheese? [JOAN, spoken] But it's the best in the world, Jim You know it is [JIM, spoken] Suppose it is You see, Joan, I hadn't told you yet I didn't wanna hurt your feelings But— I don't like cheese [JOAN, spoken] Ah! Don't let anyone here you say that! [JIM, spoken] If it were only something else Pie, say Or even stewed rhubarb [JOAN, spoken] Jim, you mustn't talk that way The man I love will want to go He'll be proud to go [JIM, spoken] The man you love? [JOAN, spoken] That's what I said [JIM, spoken] Then there is such a person As the man you love? [JOAN, spoken] Not yet But there will be, I hope, some time or other [JIM, spoken] But as yet, not even a sign? [JOAN, spoken] Well, no [JOAN] When the mellow moon begins to beam Every night I dream a little dream And, of course, Prince Charming is the theme The he For me Although I realize as well as you It is seldom that a dream comes true To me it's clear That he'll appear 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 [JIM] Some day she'll come along The girl I love Her smile will be a song The girl I love And when she comes my way I'll do my best to make her stay I'll look at her and smile She'll understand And in a little while I'll take her hand And though it seems absurd I know we both won't say a word Maybe I will meet her Sunday Maybe Monday, maybe not Still I'm sure to meet her one day Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day [JIM & JOAN] For her / him I'll do and dare As ne'er before Our hopes and dreams we'll share For evermore And so all else above I'm waiting for the girl / man I love
