Oh, How I Try

(album: I'll Buy You A Star - 1961)

Oh, how I try
But I can't forget you
Oh, how I try
To fool my heart

Can I put out this fire
That's burning?
When I feel a desire
That keeps on returning?

Oh, how I try
Not thinking about you
As every day
Goes slowly by

But when twilight is here
I dream that you are near
Then I feel your arms around me
And pretend we never said goodbye
Can't get you out of my mind
Though I try

(Oh, how I try
Not thinking about you
As every day
Goes slowly by)

But when twilight is here
I dream that you are near
Then I feel your arms around me
And pretend we never said goodbye
Can't get you out of my mind
Though I try
