I've tried so hard to care for someone else
But no one else will do
The more I try to care for someone else
The more I care for you

I'm still caring, I'm still sharing
The golden dreams that you and I once knew
I'm still caring, I'm still daring
To hope that maybe you are caring too

The spell of that same old love so divine
Fills my poor heart, and though you're not mine
I'm still caring, I'm still wearing
My heart away for you

As recorded by ART GILLHAM:

I've tried so hard to care for someone else
But no one else will do
The more I try to care for someone else
The more I care for you

I'm still caring, I'm still sharing
The golden dreams that you and I once knew
I'm still caring, I'm still daring
To hope that maybe you are caring too

Didn't you know, sweetheart
When you left me, that it would make me sad
Didn't you realise that it would break my heart
But nevertheless, dear, I'm still caring
Yes, I'm still wearing my heart away for you

(Instrumental Break)

The spell of that same old love so divine
Still fills my poor heart, and, nevertheless, though you're not mine
I'm still caring, yes, sweetheart, I'm still wearing
My heart away for you
