time i've been passing time watching trains go by all of my life
lying on the sand watching seabirds fly wishing there could be someone
waiting home for me
something's telling me it might be you
it's telling me it might be you
all of my life looking back as lovers go walking past
all of my life wondering how they met and what makes it last
if i find the place will i recognize the face
something's telling me it might be you
it's telling me it might be you
so many quiet walks to take
so many dreams to wake and there's so much love to make
i think it's going to take some time
maybe all we need is time
and it's telling me it might be you
i've been saving love songs and lullabyes and there's so much more no
one's ever heard before something's telling me it might be you it's
telling me it must be you and i'm feeling it'll just be you all of my
life maybe it's you maybe it's you i've been waiting for all of my life
maybe it's you maybe it's you i've been waiting for all of my life.

This song, from the motion picture "Tootsie," was nominated for an Academy =
Award as Best =
Original Song in 1982. The words were written by husband & wife songwriters=
Alan & =
Marilyn Bergman, who won two Oscars for the songs "The Windmills of Your Mi=
nd!" (From =
"The Thomas Crown Affair") and "The Way We Were." The Bergmans were also no=
minated for =
the songs from "Yentl" and many other projects.
"It Might Be You" didn't win the Oscar. It was one of THREE songs written =
by =
Alan & Marilyn Bergman competing for the award that year! The others were a=
song from =
"Yes Giorgio" Luciano Pavarotti's disasterous American movie debut, and "Ho=
w Do You Keep =
The Music Playing?" (from "Best Friends.") The other two nominees were "Eye=
of the =
Tiger" (from "Rocky III,") and "Up Where We Belong" (from "An Officer and a=
Gentleman") =
which won the Oscar. In my opinion (which is, after all, only an opinion) "=
Up Where We =
Belong" was the weakest song of the lot, and it won out over the best song,=
"It Might Be =
You" because the Academy's Bergman-loyalist vote got split up three ways:
Here are the words to "It Might Be You." Judge for yourself.
IT MIGHT BE YOU (Song from the motion picture "TOOTSIE")
Music by David Shire
Words by Marilyn Bergman and Alan Bergman
Time.
I've been passing time,
Watching trains go by.
All of my life,
Lying on the sand
Watching sea birds fly,
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me.
Somethings's telling me it might be you.
Yeah it's telling me it might be you
All of my life.
Looking back =
as lovers go walking past.
All of my life,
Wondering how they met
And what makes it last.
If I found the place,
Would I recognize the face?
Somethings's telling me it might be you.
Yeah it's telling me it might be you.
So many quiet walks to take,
So many dreams to wake,
And there's so much love to make.
I think we're gonna need some time
maybe all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life.
I've been saving love songs and lullabyes
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before.
Somethings's telling me it might be you.
Yeah it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life.
Maybe it's you
Maybe it's you
I've been waiting for
All of my life
Maybe it's you (it's you!)
Maybe it's you (it's you!)
I've been waiting for
All of my life. (Time.
(repeat and fade) I've been spending time
Watching trains go by....
