Lyrics

Each time I (Dm9)see a crowd

of (Gm9)peo ple

just like a fool I

stop and (Em11)stare.

It’s real ly (Bb)not

the prop er (Am9)thing to do,

but may be you’ll be (Gm9)there.

I go (Dm9)out walk ing af ter (Gm9)mid night

’long the lone ly

thor ough fare,

it’s not the (Eb7)time or place

to look

for (D13)you,

but (C7)may be you’ll (Fmaj9)be there.

You said your arms

would al ways (Am9)hold me,

you said your lips were (D7)mine a lone

to (Gm11)kiss.

Now af (Am7)ter

all those things

you (Gm9)told me,

how could it end

like (C7)this?

Some day if (Dm9)all my prayers are (Gm9)ans wered,

I’ll hear a foot step

on the (Em7)stair.

The anx ious (Bbm6)heart,

I’ll hur ry (Am7)to the door,

and (Bb)may be (C7)you’ll be (F)there.

and may be (C13)you’ll

be

(CN.C.)there.
