Sophie Tucker - The man I love

SOMEDAY HE'LL COME ALONG

The man I love, famoso standard con música de George Geshwin y letra de su hermano Ira, fue estrenada en 1924 en Broadway como "The girl I love" en el musical Lady, be good. En 1928, con su poderosa voz de contralto, la grabó Sophie Tucker, una de las cantantes estadounidenses más populares de la primera mitad del siglo XX, dejando a la posteridad una versión modélica. Con ella recordamos el quincuagésimo tercer aniversario del fallecimiento de la en su día llamada 'The last of the red hot mamas'.

The man I love  (lyrics) 

When the mellow moon begins to beam
Every 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 comes 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 will 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

Maybe I will 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


When the mellow moon begins to beam, Every 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 comes 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.
