Written by gerry beckley, ©1975 Found on hearts. Eyes Holdin' back the tears That they've held for years How can i tell you? I don't want to make you cry Why should i even try? Why should i even try? Days Where'd you go so fast Fin'lly lost at last How can i tell you? I don't want to let you down Why should i even try? Why should i even try? How can i tell you? I don't want to let you down Why should i even try? Why should i even try?
