“The Man I Love” – Billie Holiday
{Chords by Joan’s Genius 2001}
Intro:
When the mellow moon begins to beam
Every night I dream a little dream
And of course Prince Charming is the theme I heed 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
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Bridge:
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
Verse 3:
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
(repeat Bridge & Verse 3)
