Try As I May

v
What other kind of song could I sing in your memory?
Seems like a sad song only dims the smile you wore,
You left so many things behind to try and cheer me,
But try as I may I can't smile anymore.

v
I had to bite my tongue when I found an old picture,
I tried to return the smile before the tears broke free,
If I could only touch you now the pain would all subside,
But try as I may I can't change history.

Every now and then I can feel you standing near me,
Your scent lingers on the wind,
I get a little crazy until I realize,
And then I start missing you all over again

v
I'm just a little older now my mind is growing dimmer,
And just when I start to think the wound is almost healed,
Somebody comes along and makes the mention of you,
And try as I may I can't change the way I feel
