Charles Strouse
Maybe
[Verse 1]
Maybe far away
Or maybe real near by
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straight'ning his tie

[Verse 2]
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano
He's sitting paying a bill

[Bridge 1]
Bet ya they're young
Bet ya they're smart
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays and art
Bet ya they're good
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake was giving up me

[Verse 3]
So, maybe now it's time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "Baby"
Maybe
[Bridge 2]
Bet ya he reads
Bet ya she sews
Maybe she's made me
A closet of clothes
Maybe they're strict
As straight as a line
Don't really care
As long as they're mine

[Verse 4]
So, maybe now this prayer's
The last one of its kind
Won't you please come get your "baby"?
Maybe
