if he's ever near

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

that 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

cause love's so hard to see

and 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

i guess i'll just give up trying

but i hope i'll know him

i hope i'll know him

if he's ever near
