Lyrics

Some day he’ll come a long,

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 (Gm7)make

(Cm7)him

(Fm7)stay.

He’ll look at me and smile,

I’ll un der stand.

And in a lit tle while,

he’ll take my hand.

And though it seems ab surd,

I know we both won’t (Eb)say

(Ab)a

(Ebdim)word.

(Cm)May be I shall (Cm7)meet him (D7)Sun day, (Ddim)may be (Cm)Mon day, (Cm6)may be (G)not.

(Cm)Still I’m sure to (Cm7)meet him (D7)one day; (Ddim)may be Tues day (Gdim7)will be (Ab)my good (Bb7)news day.

He’ll build a lit tle home,

just meant for two,

from which I’ll nev er roam.

Who would, would you?

And so all else a bove,

I’m wait ing for the (Eb)man

(Ab)I

(Ebdim)love.
