Maybe
Eddie Fisher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe you'll think of me
When you are all alone
Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue
Then what will you do

Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Wishing that I were near, then
Maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say maybe

Maybe
(Maybe every now an' then, maybe)
You'll think of me when you are all alone
Wondering what I'm doin' and if I'm alone

Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Will prove untrue
(What'll you say?)
Then, what will you do?
(What'll you do?)

Maybe
(Maybe as the days go by, maybe)
You'll sit an' sigh wishing that I were near
('Cause you're just a little blue an' lonely)





And maybe you'll ask me to come back again
And maybe I'll say maybe

Maybe you'll think of me
Perhaps you'll remember me


When you are all alone
When you are by yourself


Maybe the one who is waiting for you
Possibly, the person waiting for you


Will prove untrue
Will turn out to be false


Then what will you do
What actions will you take in response?


Maybe you'll sit and sigh
Perhaps you'll sit and breathe out deeply


Wishing that I were near, then
Desiring my presence


Maybe you'll ask me to come back again
Possibly, you'll request for me to return


And maybe I'll say maybe
And I might respond with uncertainty

My pleasure! Glad that you like it.

Allyson Hathcock

I just love this song!!!

Dale Booth

This song had also been a hit during WWII by the Ink Spots.

Robert Lall

Wonder how many duets by top selling pop stars there have been since then.

Walter Haight

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion with "WAP". Aren't you glad you asked?.... But seriously, if you're asking about just this era, duets were quite common between labelmates. Jo Stafford & Frankie Laine had several hits together for instance. And Teresa Brewer cut a record with none other than Mickey Mantle, whom she was dating at the time.

Michael Kinnard

Just remembered this song, it will always be one of the songs I play for my late wife, who I adored for 64 years.

Walter Haight

From what I've heard the recording session that produced this song along with the flip "Watermelon Weather" did not go very well. Let's just say that the laid-back veteran Como and the hyper-energetic newcomer Fisher didn't exactly see eye to eye.

Robert Lall

As Smule Karaoke addict with most of the action duets there this duet sounds fantastic to me. Even though they had personal differences they nailed this song. Much better than Ink Spots original (?) performance in the 40's to me.

Robert Lall

Too bad loved both of them as haven't heard a song by either that I didn't like. Great voices and great techniques make for an unbeatable combination.
