" Maybe",


(Intro)

I just got home today.
My bags and car still packed.
Picked up the paper from the front porch, sat down to relax.

Looks like the weathers changing.
Nothing ever stays the same-
I turned a few pages to "What's A-bout Town", its there I saw your name.

A shining a example of ivory skin; a head upon your shoulder-
Your weathered lips and cherub chin; your weary eyes look older.

(Verse)

Maybe I should have stayed with you, it wouldn't take me by surprise.
Perhaps if Id learn a thing or two you know I might get wise.

And life is like this photograph, capturing one moment in time.
And If I had kept that picture in my head, maybe you would have been mine.

(Chorus)-
And now, Now I see it all clear.
Somehow, Somehow, I thought you'd go, oh away.
So I pushed you away.
Throwing it all away.

(Verse)
Maybe I should have stayed with you; you know it wouldn't take me by
surprise

If I'd listen to my heart not my head, I'd never compromise.
And life is like this grandfather clock just ticking away at time-.
And if I kept that rhythm in my head, maybe you might have been mine.

(Chorus)-
And now, Now I see it all clear.
Somehow, somehow I thought you'd go oh away
So I pushed you away.
Throwing it all away.

Maybe I should have stayed with you it, you know it wouldn't take me by
surprise.

It seems the only lesson in life I've learned is, how to shut my eyes.
And life is like a sea of water-tides rushing out and in.
And If I kept that feeling in my head, maybe we might have been.

(Chorus)-
And now, now I see it all clear.
Somehow, somehow I thought you'd go oh away,
So I- sent you away, throwing it all away.

(Verse)

Maybe I should have stayed with you.
Our friends shook their heads today.
But after seeing that happy look on your face, there's not much more to say.

And life is like this hourglass, losing one sand grain at a time.
And if I'd kept that vision in my head maybe you might have been mine.
And if I kept that vision in my head-
Maybe you might have been mine.
