The song title is THE MAN I LOVE
Song Text:
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
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
Then 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 though all else above
I’m waiting for the man I love

Based on the given text, what mood(s) would you say were portrayed in the song? How successful (or not successful) was the singer in expressing the text? Support your argument with examples.
