Beautiful melody & vocals -
Annie is comforting a fellow orphan -
(Let's remember our comforting skills-
may come in handy soon.) 🎵💝🙏

Maybe far away...
Or maybe real nearby.
He may be pouring her coffee...
She may be straightening his tie.

Maybe in a house...
All hidden by a hill.
She's sittin' playing piano...
He's sittin' paying a bill.

Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart.
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays and art

Betcha they're good
Why shouldn't they be?
Their one mistake
Was giving up me

So maybe now it's time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "baby"
Maybe

Betcha he reads
Betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me
A closet of clothes

Maybe they're strict
As straight as a line
Don't really care
As long as they're mine

So maybe now this prayer's
The last one of its kind
Won't you please
Come get your baby?

[ORPHANS] May...be...
