Maybe

music by George Gershwin (left)

lyric by Ira Gershwin (right)

Though today is a blue day, still, tomorrow is near;
And perhaps with the new day, cares will all disappear.
Though happiness is late, and we must wait, there's no need to be nervous.
There are dreams at your service...

Soon or late--maybe--
If you wait--maybe--
Some kind of fate--maybe--
Will help you discover where to find your lover.

You will hear, "Yoo-Hoo."
He'll be near you-oo.
Paradise will open its gate-maybe soon-maybe late.

Though I'm patiently waiting, he is long overdue.
If he keeps hesitating, tell me, what can I do?
Someday he will appear--
Perhaps he's near.
I'm not going to worry, but I do wish he'd hurry.

Soon or late--maybe--
If I wait--maybe--
Some kind fate--maybe--
Will help me to discover where to find my lover.

You will hear "Yoo-Hoo."
He'll be near you-oo.
Paradise will open its gate-maybe soon-maybe late...
