May-be far a-way, Or May-be real near-by, 
He may be pour-ing her cof-fee,
She may be straight-'ning his tie.

Bet-cha they're young,__Bet-cha they're smart.___
Bet they col-lect__things like ash-trays and art.___
Bet-cha they're good___ why shouldn't they be.___
Their one mis-take was giv-ing up me.___

So, May-be now it's time and may-be when I wake
They'll be there cal-ling me "Ba-by".  May - be.

May-be in a house all hid-den by a hill,
She's sit-ting play-ing pi - a nah,
He's sit-ting pay-ing a bill.

Bet-cha he reads,__ Bet-cha she sews.___
May be she's made__ me a clos-et of clothes.___
May - be they're strict__as straight as a line.___
Don't real-ly care as long as they're mine.___

So, may-be now this prayer's the last one of it's kind;
Won't you please come get your "Ba-by".   May - be.
