Maybe
[ANNIE]
Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straightening his tie

Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sittin' playing piano
He's sittin' 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 its kind
Won't you please
Come get your baby?
