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

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



And love's so hard to see

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

So I guess I'll just give up trying

Oh I hope I'll know him

I hope I'll know him

If he's ever near
