Don McLean — If We Try

When I see you on the street, I lose my concentration Just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well I've been thinkin' about you day and night And I don't know if it'll work out right But somehow I think that it just might If we try Faces come and faces go, in circular rotation But something yearns within to grow beyond infatuation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well you've got me standin' deaf and blind 'Cause I see love is just a state of mind And who knows what it is that we might find If we try You're walkin' a different direction from most people I've met You're givin' me signs of affection I don't usually get I don't want you to pledge your future The future's not yours to give Just stand there a little longer And let me watch while you live 'Cause when I see you on the street, I lose my concentration And just the thought that we might meet creates anticipation Won't you look my way once before you go And my eyes will say what you ought to know Well, I've been thinkin' about you day and night And I don't know if it'll work out right But somehow I think that it just might If we try Somehow I think that it just might If we try Yes, somehow I think that it just might If we try
