Karla Bonoff - 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
That 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

Cause love's so hard to see
And 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
I guess I'll just give up trying
But I hope I'll know him
I hope I'll know him
If he's ever near

    Thank for reminding me of karla bonofs writing and singing magnificent! !,

  14. K.... B....

    An incomparable singer-songwriter!  Many have covered her songs but so nice to hear her sing them as written.  Just don't listen to these after a breakup--or  if you want to be cathartic, then do listen!

  15. p.... ....

    I think this is one of the saddest songs, but sometimes you need a sad song. Thank you Karla for writing and making this.
    i bought this record many years ago, and it's so good to hear it again.

    I remeber Karla from the 70's, but I think her stuff sounds even better now. Great, heartfelt writing never ages. Thanks for posting!

  25. K.... J....

    the lyrics makes me realize that one's a relationship for someone was ended...everything good about that person may vanished and then you wake up one day thinking that love isn't enough..being good isn't enough... its just that..
    they're good at first and it wont last..soforthe person that causes pain to me...if the tym comes that we see each other again..hope you still know me...
