If He's Ever Near

written by Karla Bonoff © 1976 Seagrape Music (BMI) They say just once in life You find someone that's right But the world looks so confused I can't tell false from true And love's so hard to find In this state of mind Oh I hope I'll know him I hope I'll know him If he's ever near Well it seemed the time had come I thought you were the one When I looked into your eyes It never looked like lies And love's so hard to see When it's in front of me Oh I hope I'll know it I hope I'll know it If it's ever near And love's so hard to see When it's in front of me Oh I hope I'll know it I hope I'll know it If it's ever near Well I know that in my time I'll have it sweet and fine But it won't add up to much Unless I feel his touch And love's so hard to find So I guess I'll just give up trying Oh I hope I'll know him I hope I'll know him If he's ever near
