Sigh... If you're feeling alone and romantic--all warm and gushy--it's an old, OLD, torch song from the '40s. For someone who can sing, it's also a great Karaoke song at the bars.
Lover Man (Oh Where Can You Be?):
I don't know why but I'm feeling so sadI long to try something I never hadNever had no kissingOh, what I've been missingLover man, oh, where can you be
The night is cold and I'm so aloneI'd give my soul just to call you my ownGot a moon above meBut no one to love meLover man, oh, where can you be
I've heard it saidThat the thrill of romanceCan be like a heavenly dreamI go to bed with a prayerThat you'll make love to meStrange as it seems
Someday we'll meetAnd you'll dry all my tearsThen whisper sweetLittle things in my earHugging and a kissingOh, what we've been missingLover man, oh, where can you be
I've heard it saidThat the thrill of romanceCan be like a heavenly dreamI go to bed with a prayerThat you'll make love to meStrange as it seems
Someday we'll meetAnd you'll dry all my tearsThen whisper sweetLittle things in my earHugging and a kissingOh, what we've been missingLover man, oh, where can you be

I wish a gay man who can sing would come out with renditions of some of the great old torch songs. George Michael would have been great at it, but I don't know who could pull it off today. I'd love to hear any gay man belt out a song about another man, but no one has the nerve to do it. Do you know of any?
