Trying 1921

There's a saying old,
worth its weight in gold,
I have oft been told,
You'll succeed if you keep trying.
I believe it's true,
Though you never knew
My endeavour has been ever,
Centered, dear, in you.

I've been trying to say I adore you;
Trying, but words fail before you;
Please don't refuse,
I implore you,
Listen to love's sweet refrain.
I'll keep on trying
tho' my heart is weary,
trying thru days that are dreary,
To make you call me your dearie;
Please don't let me try in vain.

I've been trying to say I adore you;
Trying, but words fail before you;
Please don't refuse,
I implore you,
Listen to love's sweet refrain.
I'll keep on trying
tho' my heart is weary,
trying thru days that are dreary,
To make you call me your dearie;
Please don't let me try in vain.

Like a star on high,
Gazing from the sky,
Loves a vi'let shy,
I've loved you in silent worship.
Dearie can't you guess,
What my eyes express?
Won't you read them,
kindly heed them?
Here's what they confess:

I've been trying to say I adore you;
Trying, but words fail before you;
Please don't refuse,
I implore you,
Listen to love's sweet refrain.
I'll keep on trying
tho' my heart is weary,
trying thru days that are dreary,
To make you call me your dearie;
Please don't let me try in vain.

I've been trying to say I adore you;
Trying, but words fail before you;
Please don't refuse,
I implore you,
Listen to love's sweet refrain.
I'll keep on trying
tho' my heart is weary,
trying thru days that are dreary,
To make you call me your dearie;
Please don't let me try in vain.
