  • 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
    Then 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
    That's meant for two
    From which I'll never roam
    Who would, would you
    And so all else above
    I'm dreaming of the man I love Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
