Can’t We Try?
By Douglas Stanglin Janet Devers

Verse
I’VE GOT HALF A DOZEN REASONS
WHY THIS WON’T WORK.
SOMETIMES WHEN SOMETHING’S BROKEN
IT’S JUST BROKE.

AND I’M SURE YOU’VE GOT YOUR OWN LIST,
TWICE AS LONG,
WHY GETTING BACK TOGETHER
IS ALL WRONG.

BUT,
Chorus:
CAN’T WE TRY.
REALLY TRY?
TO CAPTURE THAT OLD MAGIC ONE MORE TIME.
LIKE IT USED TO BE,
WHEN YOU WERE LOVIN’ ME,
AND MORNING KISSES LASTED ALL DAY LONG.
I’VE MISSED YOU EVERY MOMENT YOU’VE BEEN GONE.
SO CAN’T WE TRY?

Verse.
WE COULD BOTH START POINTIN’ FINGERS,
BUT WHAT’S THE USE.
I’M SO TIRED OF PLAYIN’ THAT OLD GAME.

I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOU
ONE MORE TIME.
DON’T TELL ME YOU HAVEN’T FELT THE SAME,
OH,

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge:
IT’S HARD TO BE FORGIVING, WITH SO MUCH HURT INSIDE,
BUT HOW CAN WE FORGIVE OURSELVES, IF WE LET THIS DIE?

SO, LET'S TRY, REALLY TRY, TO CAPTURE (ETC.)
(Repeat chorus)
