Don McLean - If We Try Lyrics

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 as just a state of mind
And who knows what it is that we might find
If we try

You're walking 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 thinking about you day and night
And I don't know if it will 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
