I'll Try
Alan Jackson · 34 Number Ones [2010]
Here we are talkin' 'bout forever
Both know damn well it's not easy together
We've both felt love, we've both felt pain
I'll take the sunshine over the rain.
And I'll try
To love only you
And I'll try
My best to be true
Oh darling, I'll try.
So I'm not scared, it's worth a chance to me
Take my hand, let's face eternity
Well, I can't tell you that I'll never change
But I can swear that in every way.
I'll try
To love only you
And I'll try
My best to be true
Oh darling, I'll try.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm not perfect, just another man
But I will give you all that I am.
And I'll try
To love only you
And I'll try
My best to be true
Oh darling, I'll try.
I'll try
Be true to you
I'll try
I'll try
Always love you
I'll try...
