[Intro]
A F#m D A E7 A
[Verse]
A E7
When the mellow moon begins to beam
A F D D#m7
Every night I dream a little dream
E F#7 Bm7 E7
And of course Prince Charming is the theme
A7 F#7 Bm7
The he, for me.
E7 A
Although I realize as well as you
A7 G#7
It is seldom that a dream comes true,
E B7
To me it's clear
E7 Bm7 E7 A
That he'll appear.
[Verse]
A Am7
Some day he'll come along, the man I love
G F#7
And he'll be big and strong, the man I love
Bm7
And when he comes my way,
E7 Amaj7 G7 F#7 B7 E7
I'll do my best to make him stay
[Verse]
A Am7
He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Em7 F#7
And in a little while, he'll take my hand
Bm7
And though it seems absurd
E7 A G7 A
I know we both won't say a word.
[Chorus]
G#7 C#7 F#m7 G#7
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
C#7 F#m C#
Maybe Monday, maybe not
F#m G#7
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
G7 F#7 Bm7 F7
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
[Verse]
A# A#m7
He'll build a little home just meant for two
Fm G# G7
From which I'll never roam, who would? would you?
Cm7
And so, all else above,
F7 A# D#m7 A#7 A#
I'm waiting for the man I love.
