If We Try

If We Try

Don McLean

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

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.
