The Chantels - Maybe (1958)

Back in 1958, I was an impressionable sophomore in High School and one of the songs I vividly remember was this one from the Chantels titled "Maybe". I wonder how many of you will remember this song from back in that late '50's and early '60's time period... (The video is not the best, but the sound is very good.)

About The Chantels:

"The Chantels (not to be confused with the reggae group The Chantells) were the second African-American girl group to have nationwide success in the United States, preceded by The Bobbettes. The group was established in the early 1950s and attended St. Anthony of Padua school in The Bronx. The original five members consisted of Arlene Smith (lead), Sonia Goring, Rene Minus, Jackie Landry Jackson and Lois Harris. They derived their name from that of a rival school, St. Frances de Chantal." Lyrics.com

LYRICS:

"Maybe" by the Chantels

Maybe, if I pray every night
You'll come back to me
And Maybe, if I cry every day
You'll come back to stay
Oh, maybe

Maybe, if I hold your hand
you will understand
And maybe, if I kissed your lips
I'll be at your command
Oh, maybe

I've cried and prayed to the Lord
To send you back my love
But instead you came to me
Only in my dreams

Maybe if I pray every night
You'll come back to me
And maybe if I cry every day
You'll come back to stay
Oh, maybe

(Maybe, maybe, maybe)
Maybe (Maybe, maybe, maybe)
Maybe (Maybe, maybe, maybe)
Maybe (Maybe, maybe, maybe)
