Lyrics If We Try - 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 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
