written by Karla Bonoff   © 1976 Seagrape Music (BMI)      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
