If We Try Lyrics - 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.

(Bridge) 

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. 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.

Note - Don would often change the last when he performed the song live. 

The words were something like "Won't you look my way once before you go and my 

eyes will say what you ought to know. It'd be so nice to see it all work 

out... cause that's what fantasies are all about..."
