Fra musicalen Lady, Be Good' 1924.
Tekst og musik: George Gershwin og Ira Gershwin
When the mellow moon begins to beam,
ev'ry 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 come 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.
