You'll Be There - Clyde McPhatter

Each time I see a crowd of people Just like a fool I stop and stare It's really not the proper thing to do But maybe you'll be there I go out walking after midnight Along the lonely thoroughfare It's not the time or place To look for you But maybe you'll be there You said your arms would always hold me You said you lips were mine alone to kiss Now after all those things you told me How can it end like this Someday if all my prayers are answered I'll hear a footstep on the stair With anxious heart I'll hurry to the door And maybe you'll Be there

Oh, tell me where the answer lies Is it in her kiss, or in her eyes? But it's a lover's question I'd like to know I'd like to know when she's not with me If she's still true to me I'd like to know when we're kissing Does she feel just what I feel, and how am I to know it's really real?
