I tried to forget

I tried to let go

I tried not to fret

Not let my feelings show



I know that she’s worthwhile

I’ve been waiting all these years

I long to see her smile

When her face is drenched in tears



I want to bring her pleasure

I want to hold her in my arms

Because she’s like a treasure

But I don’t want to set off alarms



To hold her when she is in pain

To help her up when she falls down

Let her know she’s gorgeous even in the rain

And to praise her beauty throughout the town



Have her body close to mine

Let her tell me her distress

Whisper that it’ll be fine

Then hug her in a caress



I’ve tried to forget

I’ve tried to let go

I’ve tried not to fret

And now she must know



I love her now I know

I can’t repress it now I see

I probably knew this long ago

But now I can agree
