Linda Ronstadt - If He's Ever Near lyrics

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
