May be this time
I’ll be luck y,
may be this time he’ll stay.
May be this time
for the first time
love won’t hur ry a way.
He will hold me fast,
I’ll be home at last.
Not a lo ser,
an y more like the last time and the time be fore.
Ev ’ry bod y
loves a win ner,
so no bo dy loved me.
‘La dy Peace ful,’
‘La dy Hap py,’
that’s what I long to be.
All the odds are
in my fa vour,
some thing’s bound to be gin.
It’s got to hap pen,
hap pen some time,
may be this time I’ll win.
This page shows “Maybe This Time” by John Kander in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 82 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
