"I Try" by Angela Bofill

I try to do
The best I can for you
But it seems it's not enough
And you know I care,
Even when you're not there.
But it not what you want.

You close your door,
when I wanna give you more.
And I feel, I feel so out of place.
And you know it's true,
Don't you think I'm, good enough for you.

Can't you see,
That you're hurting me,
And I want, I want this pain to stop.
So if you really care,
I mean if you really, really care,
Then open up your heart to me.
Open up to meeee....

You know that I tried to be with you.
You know that I wanted to see it through.
You know that I needed to make you mine.
It was only a matter of time.

You know that I tried to be with you.
You know that I wanted to make it through.
You know that I needed to make you mine.
It was just a matter of time.

You know that I tried to be with you.
You know that I wanted to see it through.
You know that I needed to make you mine.
It was just a matter of time.
(repeat)

I have heard there's an angel
There's an angel of the night
Far thru time she has traveled
And she's watchin' out of sight

She knows, let her guide you
Listen if you can, you know she's wise
And she'll find you
Try to understand
In your heart she'll be hiding
For she's with you constantly
And somewhere from the darkness
She will slip into your dreams

You will know by the stillness
In the air you'll feel she's near
And if you will it
Maybe she'll appear

She's an angel
She's an angel of the night
She's an angel
She's a guardian of love

She's an angel
She's an angel of the night
She's an angel
She's a guardian of love
Love

When she speaks it's like music
Universal melodies
Lullabies that will soothe you
Put your life in harmony

She knows, let her guide you
Listen if you can, you know she's wise
If you understand

She's an angel
She's an angel of the night
She's an angel
She's a guardian of love
(Repeat till fade)

ooh, oo-oo-ooh

yeah-ay-ay-ay

there's someone on my mind tonight
I don't know where he's coming from
I hope i'm not just making this up

(huh...)

i've got good intuition
not one for superstition but when
it comes to loving somebody
i'll believe most anything
cause I long for my heart to share a love everlasting

I wanna love somebody
I wanna love somebody
someone to climb to heaven with me

ooh... hoo, oo-ooh...

I wanna love somebody
yes i'm gonna love somebody
someone who wants to love only me

ooh... hoo, oo-ooh...

i'm walking on a thin line
i'm trying to believe that in time
someone will dream about me all night

they say you just gotta wait
that love come with fate
but I know that there's a star made for everyone
and it's watching over me
if I could only see him, have him, hold him, know him

I wanna love somebody
I wanna love somebody


someone to climb to heaven with me

ooh...

I wanna love somebody
yes I wanna love somebody
someone who wants to love only me

(loves only me...)

oh...

I wanna know his name
I wanna feel his pain
cause once I love him it will be forever
and that's the way it could be
and that's the way it should be

oh...

I wanna love somebody (i wanna love somebody)
I wanna love somebody (oh oh...)
someone to climb to heaven with me

love only me...

I wanna love somebody (i wanna love somebody)
I wanna love somebody

(oh oh oh...)

to heaven with me...

love only me...

I wanna love somebody (i wanna love somebody)
I wanna love somebody
til the end of time...

[fade out]

Something About You
I saw that look of love in your eyes
I felt the fear close mine
No more romances with broken hearts

For what I swore was a lifetime
I'd rather take care of myself before
My thoughts of getting involved
But when temptation stared me down

All of the complex was solved
You know that
I don't want to fall in love, but
I guess there's something about you, oh, oh

Oh, yeah, there's something about you, mmm
You know there's something about you
And I can't let you go
Oh, my conscience whispers dirty words

Says you've been hungry too long
you've got to feed the heart that's lonely
If you're to make it strong
You know that

I don't want to fall in love, but
I guess there's something about you, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, there's something about you, ooh, oh
You know there's something about you, oh

And I can't let you go, oh, oh, ho
Mmm
Oh
Now that you're here, don't ever leave me

'Cause I committed myself
I've overcome all my doubts and fears
Now I don't want no one else
I guess there's something about you, oh, oh

Oh, yeah, there's something about you
You know there's something about you, oh, oh
Oh, yeah, there's something about you
Something about, something about, something about you, oh, oh

I guess there's something about you
Something about, something about, something about you, oh, oh
I guess there's something about you (Whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh...)
I guess there's something about you

Oh, yeah, there's something about you
I guess there's something about you
Oh, yeah, there's something about you ('bout you)
You know there's something about

I guess there's something about you
Oh, yeah, there's something about you
You know there's something about

Did you think that your smile
Could hide what's on your mind?
No matter how I tried
I just couldn't be so blind
We've been close but people grow,
And they sometimes grow apart
There's just one thing I ask you
If you've had a change of heart…

CHORUS:
(And)Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Try to spare my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

I'm not ashamed to admit
I really hurt inside
After all these are my feelings,
Why should I make them hide?
But I won't hold you back,
There'll be no pulling on your sleeve
Just let me down easy,
And go softly when you leave…

CHORUS:
(And)Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Try to spare my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

You always knew that you had my heart
It's still yours, if you wanna take it
But when you go, as I know you must,
Be gentle with your breaking

CHORUS:
(And)Break it to me gently,
If ya have to, then tell me lies
Break it to me gently,
At least leave me with my pride
Trust me and my feelings
If the feelings have to die
Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye

Break it to me gently,
If you have to say goodbye,
Goodbye, goodbye...

On and on, the love goes on and on
And I cry for you, I can't get over you, oh
On and on, the feeling's twice as strong
And I can't get used to being without you

Who said that lie? Well, it doesn't matter why
I guess we'll never figure where we went wrong
I try to write it off but I can't forget the lost
The feeling so strong but still it goes on and on and

On and on, the love goes on and on
And I cry for you, I can't get over you
On and on, the feeling's twice as strong
And I can't get used to being without you

I just heard a song playing on the radio
It reminds me of the way we used to go
A slice of paradise and there was heaven in my life
We try to face it away but still it goes on and on and

On and on, the love goes on and on
And I cry for you, I can't get over you
On and on, the feeling's twice as strong
And I can't get used to being without you, oh

On and on and on, the love goes on and on
And I thrive for you, I can't get over you
On and on, on and on, on and on and on and on
And I can't get used to being without you

On and on, on and on, on and on and on and on
And I can't get used to being without you
On and on, and on, oh

You ought to know by now
Love is the look in my eye
Lovin' the way you smile when I say
"I wish you would stay."
You bring out all the youth in me
I laugh and cry out all the truth in me
Out o' love.
You should know by now

Haven't you felt by now?
Just what it's like to be loved
Knowin' that certain touch when you're sure
Time won't give you more
You bring out all the best in me
I wanna hold you till you feel the need somehow
You should know by now

If I could just find the words
I wouldn't be left so lonely
I'm your one, my only
Then I'd show you how
Every move as smooth as silk
Say you will; say you will

Hasn't it crossed your mind?
Haven't you known all the time?
Honestly tell me now
Has it shown?
How much love is grown?
The way I tremble at the sight of you
I want to learn to love you through and through
This I'll beg
You should know by now
Hmm-mmm

By now
You should know by now
Don't you think you should know by now?
Ooh

darling can't you see
what losing you has done to me
im not the same girl I used to be
have a change of heart
don't leave me standing in the dark
don't let confusion keep us apart
come back to me and i'll guarantee
all the tenderness and love you'll ever need

(Chorus)
This time i'll be sweeter
our love will run deeper
I won't mess around
I won't let you let down
have faith in me
have faith in me

since you've been away
I haven't seen the light of day
im lost without you cant find my way
so won't you please be fair
and let me show how much I care
say you'll be mine and answer my prayer
come back to me
and I promise I'll be
everything's that bright
and new your whole life through
(Chorus) 2x

Into the night the aging sun begins to fade
And I’ll be thinking about you and the summer love we made
But all the memories don’t really mean a thing
Too many sad ones and the food ones were few and far between
What happened yesterday is gone with the wind
Summer days and moonlit nights
Through the waves and hold me tight
Turn around and summer’s almost gone
Turnaround and summer’s almost gone

What is the used of chasing rainbows though the air
It’s an illusion of grandeur a fugitive affair
And all of the promises don’t really mean a thing
So few remaining unbroken and the heartaches that they bring
The leaves begin to fall and talk to the wind
Summer days and moonlit nights
Through the waves and hold me tight
Turn around and summer’s almost gone

Summer days and moonlit nights
Through the waves and hold me tight
Turn around and summer’s almost gone
Turn around and summer’s almost gone
Hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm-mm
(repeat and fade)
