Story Behind the Song
"Where's The Man Of My Dream"
I wrote this song because I felt let-down, lonely, and disappointed with the man that was in my life.
The song is saying that a single-parent with three children struggling to make ends meet and along comes this man who made promises he didn't keep. He walked out on me and my children. I thought he was the man of my dream.
I wrote this song while lying in bed praying. I had worked all day, tired and depressed and had no-one to come home to. I had no shoulder to cry on, no-one to laugh or talk to. I thought my man was gonna be there for me, but I was wrong. But now I understand why...... this man wasn't sent by God, he was a man I chose to have in my life and he wasn't right for me or my children. Almost seven years have gone by, but I won't give up and I won't give in. That special man is still out there somewhere, it's all in God's time.
It only took me four days to write the lyrics to this song. But it was eight months later when I started recording it.
It took about four months for the recording to be complete, along with another song.
Lyrics
Life had been so hard, being alone.
Raising three young children on my own.
I thought I'd found the man of my dreams,
Only to find he wasn't what he'd seem,
this man he really let me down.....
All my friends say girl, just let him be...
He will get his payback you will see...
I waited for him such a long long time
But he was only playing with my mine,
That man he really let me down....
But I've moved on with my life,
Trying to make ends meet getting by through the nights, but when I close my eyes to sleep, the tears begin to fall, Where's the man of my dream, why can't he hear my call...... Ohhhhhhhhhh
Where's the man of my dream, somebody tell me
Where's the man of my dream, I need him so desperately..... I know he's out there somewhere, he's a man who knows how to care, don't need no one night-stand, just want me a God-sent man....Where's the man of my dream
