Maybe You'll Be There
Hopeful Echoes: Seeking Love in the Midnight Shadows
Lyrics
Each time I see a crowd of people
Observing a crowd of people each time
Just like a fool, I stop and stare
Stopping and staring foolishly
It's really not the proper thing to do
Acknowledging it's not proper behavior
But maybe you'll be there
Hoping that you might be present
I go out walking after midnight
Walking after midnight alone
Along the lonely thoroughfare
On a lonely street
It's not the time or place
Realizing it's not the right time or place
To look for you
Searching for you
But maybe you'll be there
Still hopeful that you might be there
You said your arms would always hold me
Recalling promises of eternal embrace
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss
Claiming exclusive ownership of your kisses
Now after all those things you told me
Reflecting on past assurances
How could it end like this
Expressing disappointment at the unexpected end
Someday if all my prayers are answered
Hoping for answered prayers someday
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
Anticipating a sign of your presence
With anxious heart
Feeling anxious in the heart
I'll hurry to the door
Rushing to the door
And maybe you'll be there
Still holding onto the possibility of finding you
You said your arms would always hold me
Recalling promises of eternal embrace (repeated)
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss
Claiming exclusive ownership of your kisses (repeated)
Now after all those things you told me
Reflecting on past assurances (repeated)
How could it end like this
Expressing disappointment at the unexpected end (repeated)
Someday if all my prayers are answered
Hoping for answered prayers someday (repeated)
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
Anticipating a sign of your presence (repeated)
With anxious heart
Feeling anxious in the heart (repeated)
I'll hurry to the door
Rushing to the door (repeated)
And maybe you'll be there
Still holding onto the possibility of finding you (repeated)
