Try To Love Lyrics


Daniel Johnston Try To Love


In my fantasy

You were there with me

I turned towards the mirror

And there’s nothing there



I sit in a chair

Washing my underwear

Thinking all along

You were of good cheer



F G C C7/Bb bass

And I am going to try to love

And I am going to rise above



So begins the star

There’s a spark in my heart

But you just stayed away from my memory

I try to get it right

Lay down a song

But there’s something wrong with my song



And I am going to try to love

And I am going to rise above



Baby you’re the one

Same as any other

And I really tried

But I’ve been denied



Crazy as it seems

In the hall of broken dreams

Till there’s nothing left

But an empty eggshell



And I am going to try to love

And I am going to rise above



Saw you in my movie

Like you really cared

I turned towards the mirror

And there’s nothing there



You were on my mind

I tried to unwind

To a better atmosphere of good cheer



And I am going to try to love

And I am going to rise above

I am going to try to love

And I am going to rise above
