If We Try

(álbum: Let Me Be There - 1973)

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

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 got me standing 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 giving 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
