The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

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'd never roam

Who would, would you?

And so all else above

I'm waiting for the man I love

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'd never roam

Who would, would you?

And so all else above

I'm waiting for the man I love
