i tried to tell myself

al green

i tried to tell myself

i tried to tell myself

that you would be back

i tried to tell myself

i tried to tell myself

that you would be back

oh

though you said you would

i only wish you could

i know i'm trying to be someone

say i tried to tell myself

i tried to tell myself

you got to ride

oh

i tried to tell myself

i tried

i really tired to sleep at night

before the break of day

turning another page into life's mystery

and the light of day

i can now hear you say

i then take this trip

with me to eternity

oh

i tried to tell myself

i tried to tell myself

you need a friend

oh and as soon as i wake up

the sun begin to shine

i start to rain

i see you finally made it

all the time you waited

i

i could be with you

i see you finally made it

all the time you waited

now i wanna be with you

oh yeah

i tried to tell myself

i tried to tell myself

i don't wanna ever leave you

i tried to tell myself

i tried to tell myself

i never want you to ever leave me all alone

i tried to tell myself

i never want you to ever leave me away

i tried to tell myself

i tried to tell myself

i don't want you to ever leave me all alone
