Michael Martin Murphey – Maybe This Time lyrics
Two old friends meet again
Wearin' older faces
And talk about the places they've been

Two old sweethearts who fell apart
Somewhere long ago
How are they to know
Someday they'd meet again
And have a need for more than reminiscin'

Maybe this time
It'll be lovin' they'll find
Maybe now they can be more than just friends
She's back in his life
And it feels so right
Maybe this time, love won't end

It's the same old feeling back again
It's the one that they had way back when
They were too young to know when love is real
But somehow, some things never change
And even time hasn't cooled the flame
It's burnin' even brighter than it did before
It got another chance, and if they take it...

Maybe this time
It'll be lovin' they'll find
Maybe now they can be more than just friends
She's back in his life
And it feels so right
Maybe this time, love won't end

She's smilin' like she used to smile way back then
She's feelin' like she used to feel way back when
They tried, but somethin' kept them
Waiting for this magic moment

Maybe this time
It'll be lovin' they'll find
Maybe now they can be more than just friends
She's back in his life
And it feels so right

Maybe this time...

Maybe this time
Maybe this time love won't end

    We met in 1958 and became close friends, lost track of each other. 50 years passed, before we reconnected. After all that time finding her brought feelings out of me that I had kept buried for most of my life. I am overjoyed at finding her and she has brought love and happiness back into my life. She is my love, lover and best friend. She is everything a man would want in a woman and then some. I know that finding her after all these years was a dream come true. We are two seniors who most of the time act like two teenagers, we just can't get enough of each other, we are two sides of the same coin. Love is a feeling that took a long time to arrive in our life. I feel blessed for having her in my arms.

    He has his own family and I have mine. But we're both not completely happy. Our kids keep us alive, our respective partners are fine but it would be better and a lot more satisfying to have each other and live one life together. Keep on praying that god will allow us to be together. I don't know how but he has never left my heart and mind. Until now, he's still the one I truly love.

    "It's the same old feeling back again

    They were too young to know when love is real

    It's burnin' even brighter than it did before

    After hearing again this song, I did not imagined it will bring an impact into my quiet life. After a couple of years without seeing this person, I thought I already forget him. But then, who would have thought that we'll meet again. Our path had cross again. That feeling of forgiveness after years of unforgotten bitter ending. I was too young & naive to know the true meaning of love. Too immature to handle things about that not so ordinary relationship with a man I shouldn't love at all. But why like this, I cried again thinking about him every night. I'm crying with out knowing why I still feel this way to him. I tried to avoid thinking everything about him. But still, all the memories keeps flashing back. Those sweet & sad memories that made that story about us. Its just then I realized that I still love him. The same old feeling back again. But this time, our situation had changed. Only reminiscing can make my heart happy again with him in my life. I'm not expecting anymore from him. Maybe I will learn to forget him soon. But our memories will always be in my heart wherever I am. I know forgetting its not the best way to move on from that past, but I want to let go of this feelings. Its hard, but I should not be the same weak woman from the past. The past that made me realize things, the past that will make me a better and stronger person for my future. I will always treasure you & our memories together. I thank God I met you from my past. Thank you for everything. Thank you for the love. The love that made our story. A story that I will never forget till the end.

    10 years ago college days we were friends. Our own circle of friends would even tease us even until we graduated that we were more than that, but we are not. Then we lost our communication. 10 years later we met again and somehow maybe our friends were correct back then that maybe we do really have feelings for each other. We are still both single but have been to many failed relationships. Then who knows whatever it is, this would finally decide what would really become of our fate.

    This song really fits me and my lover. We had same feelings when we were still in 1st year hs. We were too young to know when love is real. He transferred to other school, after then we didn't see each other anymore. 17 had passed. Now we meet each other again. It is hard for us to let each heart's go. But the problem is we are now both married to different persons. :(.

    When I heard this song it reminds me that there is still love waiting on me. We meet long years ago then we lost each other. But I didn't know he's searching me in social media until he found me. And we promised each other not to lost again so maybe this time love won't end.

    There is this guy who I had been in a relationship with roughly 17 years ago, but we ended with no closure. Not until 10 years since we parted did we patch everything up. At that time, I am already happily married while he just ended his long term relationship. Since our closure, we've been constantly talking with each other. Now it has been almost 7 years communicating with him and all the time, there is a certain question that tries to get its way to my mind, "What if we never ended? What if I fought for him?" Until now, he is single. I'm not sure if the song fits us well or not, but insanely at times it would cross my mind, that maybe this time we can make it better. However I know, the greatest thing there is for us right now to become the best of friends.

    We met in high school. He followed me to the women's room at a carnival. We dated very briefly. It ended because of distance and money. Back in the '70s you had to use a "landline". Between running up our parent's phone bills and gas for him to drive the 20 miles round trip, the relationship floated away.

    In 1988 after I left my husband we went on 1 date. Everything was still there but the timing was not right.

    We live 10 minutes apart now. I kept tabs on him and knew where he lived and worked. I finally HAD to write him or let him go. I wrote May 2015 and heard nothing. Then in August he wrote me a letter (he just received mine).

    Since then we have had 3 dates and about 6 long conversations. I have been divorced since June and he is in the middle of his divorce. I am convinced that this is OUR TIME! He is struggling with this and has tried to slide me in the "friend" category.

    I am being patient knowing I knew about him for 6 years and he is just processing not only me but his last failed relationship. We both have 2 failed long term relationships and I really believe it's because we are meant to be together but needed to learn some life lessons to fully appreciate each other!

    I go from wanting to tell him all my feelings, to holding back because I don't want to scare him. Patience is not my strong suit. We talk about everything and he listens, he really listens. He doesn't try to "fix" it or "Fix me", he doesn't talk down to me or tell me how to think. He has his opinions and I have mine.

    He makes me feel like I am 16 all over again and my body hums when I am around him. I just want to touch him and not necessarily in a sexual way, I just feel like he grounds me. (not to say, the sexual hum is not still there because it totally is!)

    I was washing the dishes when this song came on my laptop and I froze and just stood listening to the lyrics. It fits what we have gone through to a T! The only thing that doesn't match is that I knew I loved him then and I know I love him now.

    I hope the MAYBE in the song becomes a YES, I can still see myself spending the rest of my life with this man.

    13 years ago. We broke up. After that, I have no news about her, not even a single letter. We live our own lives separately. I married a girl I didn't love. After 13 long years we finally met each other again. She is married but also to a man she did'nt love. The same old feeling back again. Maybe even more intense and expressive because we were much older now. After 13 years. Truly even time hasn't cool the flame. Love you janice santos 07042011.

    This is what the words maybe this time really means! I was 17 and he was 18. That was 58 years ago. For almost 2 years we were madly in love and then something happened...…I can't even remember and he can't either but we broke up. He wouldn't even speak to me. For about 6 months his mom (who I just loved) tried to get us back together to no avail. I moved on to a 46 year marriage (my husband passed in 2016) and he had a 20 some year marriage and has be divorced 20 some years. We both had three children almost the same ages. We connected in June this year and it was like we were never apart. I'm now 75 and he's 76, we don't have any major health issues, we both look like we are in our late 50's to early 60's, we travel 200 miles to see each other and you babies out there have nothing on us. We both own homes, retired in good shape and are not looking to be married again. Believe me when I say, "THIS TIME" it is all FUN!!!

    We used to be the best of friends for 10 years. Unintentionally, we fell in love with each and had this affair when we about to graduate in college. I had to end that foolishness even it really broke my heart for the sake of my studies and future. I just hope that when we meet again, I won't feel the same deep feeling of love anymore because I am now committed and will have a family.

    My love can't believe that I posted the above note, so here it goes Gigi, Artie posted the above note. Correction to the time we met 1959. Not sure why the time was wrong. She hates being my secret love, so here it goes Otello loves Agnes Navarro. 50 years have passed and it seemed a lifetime.

    I met this guy on kik messenger, we really got along so well and it was love in an instant. We skyped and exchanged messages every single day. After 3 months, I found out he is married and had 2 kids. I sent him a package for a Christmas gift and the girl received it. We stopped talking since then.

    But after 3 months, I still haven't been able to move on. So I texted him and now we are still talking, exchanging I love you's but things are complicated now. As he said, "There are things that are meant the way they are and we can't change it." I have him yet I can never call him "mine".

    We met on a dating app way back 2018 that's 6 years ago, We've gone through many dates that time and have been constantly talking to each other everyday. I have loved her for everytime I am with her, I really wanted to take good care of her. Unfortunately, it was my very fault and I really hate myself for that, it only took one photo to break pur relationship. After that event we haven't been able to talk to each other.

    Jump to present time, 2024, she sent me a message, my heart raced that it's been a while since I last talked to her. We have now our own kids, but the feeling that I have the day that I met her came back to me. I am now constantly talking to her though we have our own kids, I still want to care and support her for all I can. I want her to experience my love that I haven't given her the time we met. She needs a man that would do things that she haven't felt since we met. The thing is she would've been if it weren't for my stupid actions that time that brought us in this situation. Though am married, I still love her until now. I just hope she feels the same way as well.

    This song reminds me of the guy who I lives next door to us. He was friendly and we treat each other as best friends. I never told him how I feel about him and I know that he likes me too at that time. I'm moved overseas and he did too. I heard he got married, had kids and got divorced. Five years ago i heard he moved back to the Philippines for good from his best friend. I'm afraid to reach out to him just in case I still have feelings for him. On the other hand, i want to talk to him to have some closure.

    This song, "maybe this time.. " it reminds me about my first love, 9 years ago, I fell in love with this guy, anjuval dantes, and yes he did too. But he was too shy to let me know what he feels. Until the time comes, that he left. After 9 years, someone messaged me on a social networking site, for 9 years all he did was look for me, his first love. And now, he became my best friend. We're hanging out together and have fun. We're making the best out of it, cos of 9 years being away. And right now, we're totally planning to get married after 5 years, I've never been this happy since he came. Destiny is real. We must believe in it.

    I still love him. He's my first love. I know right now, he's really having hard time to find a girl like me. Like me, who really makes him happy. And I also feel the same way. I can't find a guy who is good as him. I kept on trying to move on, but still, my heart longs for him. Years from now, I will really promise, I will look for him no matter what.

    First love truly never dies, I still don't know what to say even after all these years. It's still you my heart is still longing for you. I miss all the memories in the past those are still very precious to me. and I think I will treasure them forever. I know that you are completely happy now, and I am truly happy for you. after all it's all my fault I didn't give you a chance. I didn't give us a chance. I am truly sorry. If I could only turn back times. I would change everything. but that is life I let our chance passed in front of my own very eye. Whenever I hear this song I can't help thinking about you. that is why I love this song. bc it reminds me of you. Thank you for everything Thank you for taking care of me for defending me against all. Thank
