If We Try Lyrics

If We Try

(Don McLean) 

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

`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
