Each time I see a crowd of people / Just like a fool I stop and stare / It's really not the proper thing to do / But maybe you'll be there / I go out walking after midnight / Along the lonely thoroughfare / It's not the time or place to look for you / But maybe you'll be there |

You said your arms would always hold me / You said you lips were mine alone to kiss / Now after all those things you told me / How can it end like this / Someday if all my prayers are answered / I'll hear a footstep on the stair / With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door / And maybe you'll be there |

Lyrics
Each time I see a crowd of people / Just like a fool I stop and stare / It's really not the proper thing to do / But maybe you'll be there / I go out walking after midnight / Along the lonely thoroughfare / It's not the time or place to look for you / But maybe you'll be there
You said your arms would always hold me / You said you lips were mine alone to kiss / Now after all those things you told me / How can it end like this / Someday if all my prayers are answered / I'll hear a footstep on the stair / With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door / And maybe you'll be there
