If We Try Lyrics By 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 is just a state of mind
    and who knows what it is that we might find
    if we try

    you’re walkin’ 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
    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 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
    somehow i think that it just might
    if we try
    yes somehow i think that it just might
    if we try
