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 thinking 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 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

'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
