Can you see the sadness
The constant obsessing is madness
Do you wonder where the smile is
Or why I am no longer his

Did I ever love him or did I settle instead
Those sad thoughts always in my head
The pressure to find someone oh so strong
Too think all these years maybe I was wrong

I certainly do not regret any of the years
But lately there are too many tears
I think of what the future has in store for me
But know the future is not for me to see

I tell myself take it day by day
The  voices telling me that's the only way
I will keep going through my life
Thinking all along how hard it is to be a wife

The man of my dreams
looks and talks and thinks just like you
he has your eyes
and your hands
and your mouth
and your mind
he holds me just like you did
and he makes me feel as beautiful
and he makes me just as happy
he is just as smart and talented and witty
and he admires Henry Miller
and he likes his coffee black
and he smokes those Marlboro No. 27s
and he plays the most beautiful music I've ever heard

The man of my dreams
looks and talks and thinks just like you
except
he loves me back
