I Try

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Last night I had a strange dream

That you and I were drifting

On a ship that was just headed for nowhere

I felt the strong winds blowin'

And so I started going

You couldn't help me and it all disappeared

If we don't make some changes

Stop actin' like we're strangers

We're gonna watch our love go down like a sunset

I'm fighting for our love

I don't wanna give it up

Baby stop being so blind

And see that I try

I try

With all my heart and my soul

I cry

Baby please don't let go

Baby it's on you

Tell me what to do

When will you open your eyes

And see that I try

I'm waiting for that ocean

To bring our love back again

I'm waiting for the dark to bring back the light, yeah yeah

I know I'll find all of this

In one coherent sweet kiss

Or when you find the strength to bring back the smile

You said that make some changes

Stop actin' like strangers

Or we're gonna watch our love go down like a sunset

I'm fighting for our love

I don't wanna give it up

Baby stop being so blind

And see that I try

I try (I try)

With all my heart and my soul

I cry (I cry)

Baby please don't let go

Baby it's on you (baby it's on you)

Tell me what to do (tell me what to do)

When will you open your eyes (your eyes)

And see that I try

I try

Baby please come back

Remember the love that we share

(The good times)

I can't imagine (I can't imagine)

A love without passion (love without passion)

Life without you by my side

Baby I try

I try

With all my heart and my soul (all my soul)

I cry

Baby please don't let go (please don't let me go)

Baby it's on you (you know it's on you)

Tell me what to do (what should I do)

When will you open your eyes

And see that I try

I try (I try, I try)

With all my heart and my soul

I cry (I cry, you know I cry baby)

Baby please don't let go

Baby it's on you (you now I can't imagine love without passion baby)

Tell me what to do

When will you open your eyes

Baby I try
