Maybe Lyrics
Maybe far away
Or maybe real near by
He maybe pouring her coffee
She maybe straightening his time
Maybe in a house
Or hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano
He's sitting paying a bill
Bet ya there young
Bet ya there smart
Bet they collect things
Like ash trays and art
Bet ya there good
Why shoulden't they be
Their one mistake was giving up me
So maybe now its time
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me baby
Maybe
Bet ya he reads
Bet ya she sews
Maybe shes made me a closet of clothes
Maybe there strict
As straight as a line
Don't really care
As long as there mine
So maybe now this prayers
The last one of its kind
Won't you please come get your baby
Maybe
Or maybe real near by
He maybe pouring her coffee
She maybe straightening his time
Or hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano
He's sitting paying a bill
Bet ya there smart
Bet they collect things
Like ash trays and art
Why shoulden't they be
Their one mistake was giving up me
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me baby
Maybe
Bet ya she sews
Maybe shes made me a closet of clothes
Maybe there strict
As straight as a line
Don't really care
As long as there mine
The last one of its kind
Won't you please come get your baby
Maybe

This song is so sad, I saw the movie, it was brilliant!
Love it Love it
The meaning of this songis pretty clear (little orphan Annie wants to find her parents). But the emotion of it is still the same. Sorrowful, yet still full of hope.
whis i where an orphan! lol
I Love this song It is so kewl if i was and orphan i wish i could sing like that haha!! Great song though
This song is really having children and caring for other people. People in the West now-a-days make excuses for being selfish and have really small families, but that's not how they did it in the old days, nor how they do it in the rest of the world.
People don't realize it, but they get married really late and then contracept until they have 1 or 2 kids, and it's not good for the West. An epidemic or natural disasters will come, wipe us clean out, the Mexicans take over. All this "overpopulation" stuff is sinister, it's just an excuse for selfishness.
This happened to Rome and Egypt, too : people in civilizations get wrapped up with themselves, neglect having kids through the greedy, then get overwhelmed by "the barbarians", who at that point have the better idea about what it is to be human.
This song is also about Divine Providence, because pretty soon Daddy Warbucks is going to adopt Annie. And in real life, God and the Saints are looking out for us, especially if we let them.
"Annie" is a great movie about kids and parenthood, but in allegorical ways.
