Maybe You'll Be There

A 1940s ballad by Rube Bloom and Sammy Gallop; the second track on Fallen Angels.

The words

A lonely singer clings to the hope that a lost love might be waiting somewhere ahead.

The singer is alone, looking back on a love that slipped away and imagining that one day, somewhere, that person may turn up again. It is a quiet torch song where hope and doubt are mixed in equal measure. The melody rises gently and falls back without resolving. Dylan sings it softly with his touring band, keeping the arrangement light and unhurried so the wistful mood can settle.
