Can't We Try

Can't We Try

Dan Hill with Vonda Sheppard

I see your face cloud over like a little girl's,
and your eyes have lost thier shine.
You whisper something softly I'm not meant to hear,
baby, tell me what's on your mind.

I don't care what people say
about the two of us from different worlds.
I love you so much that it hurts inside,
Are you listening?

Please listen to me, girl.

Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try to understand
that it's love we're fighting for?
Can't we try just a little more passion?
Can't we try just a little less pride?
I love you so much baby,
that it tears me up inside.

I hear you on the telephone with god-knows-who,
spilling out your heart for free.
Everyone needs someone they can talk to,
girl, that someone should be me.

So many times, I tried to tell you,
you just turned away.
How did I know?

My life is changing so fast now,
leaves me lonely and afraid.
Don't be afraid, no.

Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try to understand
that it's love we're fighting for?
Can't we try just a little more passion?
Can't we try just a little less pride?
I love you so much baby,
that it tears me up inside.

Don't let our love fade away.
Don't let our love fade away.
No matter what people say.
No matter, no matter what they say.
I need you more and more each day.
Don't let our love fade away.
No matter what people say.
No matter, no matter what they say.

Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try just a little bit harder?
Can't we give just a little bit more?
Can't we try just a little more passion?
Can't we try just a little less pride?
I love you so much baby,
that it tears me up inside.

Can't we try, baby, can't we give a little bit, little bit

The greatest happiness
is to transform one's feelings
into actions.

Words To Live By"

Never buy a coffee table
you can't put your feet on.

Believe in miracles,
but don't depend on them.

Don't forget that we are ultimately judged
by what we give, not by what we get.

When you hear a kind word spoken
about a friend, tell him/her so.

Don't work for recognition,
but do work worthy of recognition.

Start the standing ovation
at the end of school plays.

When someone lets you down,
don't give up on him.

Ask yourself if what you're doing today
is getting you closer to where
you want to be tomorrow.

Remember that nothing important
was ever achieved without someone's
taking a chance.

When a friend is in need,
help him without his having to ask.

When someone gives you something,
never say, "You shouldn't have."

Remember that cruel words deeply hurt.

Remember that loving words quickly heal.

Frame anything your child brings home
on his first day of school.

Seek respect rather than popularity.

Seek quality rather than luxury.

Seek refinement rather than fashion.

Never be too busy to meet someone new.

Remember that when your mom says,
"You'll regret it," you probably will.

Never let the odds keep you from pursuing
what you know in your heart you were
meant to do.

To help your children turn out well,
spend twice as much time with them
and half as much money.

Remember that life's most treasured moments
often come unannounced.

When you see someone sitting alone on a bench,
make it a point to speak to them.

Be willing to accept a temporary inconvenience
for a permanent improvement.

Protect your enthusiasm from
the negativity of others.

Remember, it's not your job to get people
to like you; it's your job to like people.

Rebuild a broken relationship.

~ Author Unknown ~

When we come into this life,
we don't really own anything.
And we own nothing when we leave.
It is only a lease we have during
our lifetime - and it is up to us
to make the most of it.
~ Jerold Panas ~

You gain strength, courage, and confidence
by every experience in which you
really stop to look fear in the face.

~Eleanor Roosevelt~

The greatest happiness is
to transform one's feelings into actions.
~Madame de Stael~

Inside the heart of each and every one of us
there is a longing to be understood
by someone who really cares.
When a person is understood,
he or she can put up with almost
anything in the world.
~ Rev Ed Hird ~

Passion is the element in which we
live; without it, we hardly vegetate.

~ Lord Byron ~

What the heart has once owned
and had, it shall never lose.

~ Henry Ward Beecher ~

Always respect your partner.
Respect is one of the things that we treasure
a lot in relationships.
