[Instrumental intro featuring guitar.]

[Verse 1, ST:]

Each time I see a crowd of people,
(Oooo.)/Just like a fool I stop and stare.
(Oooo.)/It's really not the proper thing to do,

(Oooo.)/But maybe you'll be there.

[Verse 2, ST:]

I go out walking after midnight,/(Oooo.)
(Oooo.)/Along the lonely thoroughfare.
(Oooo.)/It's not the time or place to look for you,

(Oooo.)/But maybe you'll be there.

[Chorus, ST:]

You said your arms would always hold me./(Oooo.)
(Hold me, hold me.)
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss./(Oooo.)

(Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.)/
/Now after all those things you told me,
(Told me, told me.)

How can it end like this?/(Oooo.)
[Verse 3, ST:]
Someday if all my prayers are answered,/(Oooo.)

(Oooo.)/I'll hear a footstep on the stair.
(Oooo.)/With anxious heart I'll hurry to the door,
(Oooo.)/And maybe you'll be there.


[Chorus, repeated with style and word changes, GC:]
You said your arms would al-, would always hold me./

/(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)/
/(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)
(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)

Sa-aid your lips were mine alone to kiss./
/(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)
/(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)

(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)
But after all those things, the things you told me,/
/(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)

/(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)
(Boom-boo.)(Bop-bop.)/
/Oh-oh, how can it end, end like this?


[Outro, Verse 3, repeated with slight changes, ST:]
So-omeday if all my prayers are answered,/(Oooo.)

(Oooo.)/I'll hear a footstep on the stair.
(Oooo.)/With anxious heart I'll hurry to the door,
And maybe,

[GC:] And maybe,
[ST:] And maybe,
((You'll be there.))
