Crossin Dixon I Can Try Lyrics

I know I came waltzing in here
Acting like I'm gonna take his place
It don't work that way

It's too soon you've been through too much
For me to think that I could win your trust
Let alone your love

I can try, I can try
To take away the lonely
Even if it's only for a while
I can make you smile
I can't get you over him overnight
But I can try

Let my arms remind you of some place
Where it's safe to just let go
Because you can, you know
After what he did to you
No matter what I do, the chances are
I can't unbreak your heart

I can try, I can try
To take away the lonely
Even if it's only for a while
I can make you smile
I can't get you over him overnight
But I can try

I can give you hope
And I can be your friend
But I can't change the past
Or make you love again

I can try, yeah
I'll make you smile for a while
I can't get you over him overnight
But I can try
