Maybe . . . you'll think of me, when you are all alone Maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue Then, what will you do? Maybe . . . you'll sit an' sigh, wishing that I were near Then, maybe you'll ask me to come back again And maybe, I'll say maybe! Maybe . . . ( maybe every now an' then, maybe ) You'll think of me When you are all alone ( wondering what I'm doin' and if I'm alone ) Maybe the one who is waiting for you ( will prove untrue ) ( what'll you say? ) then, what will you do? ( what'll you do? ) Maybe . . . ( maybe as the days go by, maybe ) You'll sit an' sigh Wishing that I were near ( 'cause you're just a little blue an' lonely ) Maybe you'll ask me to come back again . . And maybe . . . I'll say . . . maybe! Words and Music by Allan Flynn And Frank Madden , 1940, 1952
