If We Try

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
