[Chorus 1] Maybe there'll come a time when I won't be sad and lonely [Verse 1] Just suppose I could love you from the very start, maybe Heaven knows I could show you with an open heart, baby You're the one that I've been waiting for In this loneliness forever more [Chorus 2] Baby, I know you're the one for me [Verse 2] Can it be that you're needing me as I need you, honey? (promise me) Promise me if we part and I never knew, funny Deep inside my heart I hope and pray That someday you'll come to me and say [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] [Verse 3] Love is strong and I'm betting that it will come my way, gladly If I'm wrong and mistaken, then I'll have to pay, sadly No other love could ever be the same If we fail, there's just yourself to blame [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
