If He's Ever Near

Karla Bonoff

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
