LOVE IS WORTH THE TRYIN'
(Chuck Rogers)


Jim Ed Brown - 1971


I met her as night was leavin' so the sun could shine
She smiled at me and I could see the cobwebs in her mind
Since she was runnin' from herself, she had no place to go
We spent the whole day talkin' and watchin' flowers grow

I learned that she had been in love a dozen times or so
The more she tried to understand, the less she seemed to know
Looks like love can hardly bloom before it starts to dyin'
Makes a body wonder if love is worth the tryin'

Then midnight whispered man and woman, you both have common needs
And so we shared the warmness there beneath the tangled sheets
And just before she fell asleep I heard her softly sighin'
Thank you for remindin' me that love is worth the tryin'
Thank you for remindin' me that love is worth the tryin'
