Lyrics[]
If there was a man I could dream of
I'd dream about a dream come true
If there was a man I could ever love
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you
All my life I've been belated
Never taking any chances, always hesitating
Where's the payoff, where's the glory
Where's the one I'm holding out for
Was he walking through the door
The one that you walked through
If it isn't you
If there was a man I could dream of
I'd dream about a dream come true
If there was a man I could ever love
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you
Happy endings never find me
I'd put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me
All my moments overdue, but
If there was a man out there for me
I wish it would be
Someone who could love me true
If someone was you
