Unknown - May Be Lyrics

Not the "Maybe" popularized by
Perry Como and the Ink Spots)

verse:
I am waiting for your answer,
Shall my true love be denied?
I am longing for the message
That will bring me to your side.
I would suffer all the sorrow
That this life can bring to me
If I thought that on the morrow
I could hear you say "May be."

chorus:
Maybe in the golden summer,
When the roses bloom again,
Love may steal into your heart, dear,
Maybe you will love me then;
Maybe in the dreary winter
When the storm sweeps land and sea,
Maybe in the gentle springtime,
Maybe you will say "May be!"
