Hard As I Try - Anne Murray

Ever since that first night

When I gave my love to you

Everything just seems so right

You are my sunlight shining through

And I’ve tried so not to let it show

Yet it seems sad because I know

No matter how hard I try

No matter how hard I try

It’s always a goodbye

You smile softly as you leave my bed

And I tightly hold your hand

You lean down to kiss my head

But there’s nothing to be said

And if you say you want to stay

I’d know you’d soon be on your way

No matter how hard we try

No matter how hard we try

It’s always a goodbye

No matter how hard we try

No matter how hard we try

It’s always a goodbye

So here we stand, you and I

You are too kind, I’m too shy

To say what we really mean

So we make life a masquerade

Never showing all

Only the parts we play

No matter how hard we try

No matter how hard we try

It’s always a goodbye
