  • Sukie:

    If I could ask, if I could choose what sort of man might fill the shoes
    I'd like to find inside my door...

    Alex:

    What man might fill those Tom McAnns?

    Jane:

    What would I ask?

    Alex:

    Yes, what indeed?

    Jane:

    What would I dare?

    Sukie:

    What would I dare?

    Alex:

    I'd ask the moon

    Jane:

    I'd ask the moon

    Sukie:

    I'd ask

    All:

    If I thought the moon would care

    Alex:

    Alright: if we're going to do this, we're going to do this right!
    I close my eyes and I see him there

    Jane and Sukie:

    Everything I dreamed of

    Alex:

    Warm, attentive

    Jane:

    Smooth, successful

    Sukie:

    Stalwart and strong!

    All:

    I close my eyes and its past compare

    Alex:

    Everything I hoped for

    Jane:

    Everything I pictured

    Sukie:

    Everything I wanted

    All:

    All along! Make him mine! Make him mine! Make him handsome as the devil,
    yet perfectly divine. Make him mine: the ultimate companion, the ideal
    design; all manner of man in one man: make him mine!
    I close my eyes and I see him there: a stranger at the doorstep

    Alex:

    Dark, enchanted

    Jane:

    Filled with secrets

    Sukie:

    Frightened to feel

    All:

    I close my eyes and my heart's laid bare

    Alex:

    Everything I hoped for

    Jane:

    Everything I pictured

    Sukie:

    Everything I wanted

    All:

    And it all seems so real!

    Jane:

    I see him there

    All:

    There he is: pure perfection! Down to the core, a sight to see:
    very handsome, yes, but so much more. Someone to touch, someone to talk to

    Sukie:

    A tower of strength

    Jane:

    A man of means

    Alex:

    Who likes to read

    Sukie:

    With calloused hands

    Jane:

    Who wears a suit

    Alex:

    Who likes to paint

    Sukie:

    Who works the land

    Jane:

    Who runs an office

    Alex:

    A gentle soul

    Sukie:

    A man of war

    Jane:

    Smooth and fair

    Alex:

    A mass of hair

    All:

    That's all I'm asking for: make him mine! Make him mine!
    Make him brilliant as a diamond and beautiful as gold.
    let all our many wished conjoin and combine:
    all manner of man in one man; make him mine!

    Alex:

    I think the words...

    Jane:

    I speak the thought...

    Sukie:

    The moon shines bright

    Alex:

    The night grows hot

    Jane and Sukie:

    Let the heavens

    All:

    Give us all they've got. All manner of man in one man: make him mine!
    All mine! Make him mine! Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
