Maybe far away
Or maybe real nerby
He may be pouring her coffe
She may be straighting his tie!
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano,
He's sitting paying a bill!
Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays, and art!
Betcha they're good
(Why shouldn't they be?)
Their one mistake
Was giving up me!
So maybe now it's time,
and maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "Baby"
Maybe.
Betcha he reads
Betcha 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!
So maybe now this prayer's
The last one of it's kind...
Won't you please come get your "Baby"
Maybe
