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?
