Please Don't Try - Daniel Lanois

For you see I asked to tell

What would my future be

And then one day that answer surely came to me

That death was a guarantee

It didn’t matter the colour

The wealth or the things that the world could bring

Oh, it will come, it will come to you

Please don’t try

Let it come to you

Be it cold or hot

To shine like diamonds

Though we must first be cut

So I said please don’t try

Please don’t try, don’t fret or cry

Just trust my love

Hold on and believe

It will, it will, it will, it will, it will, oh

It will come

It will come to you

I’ll hold your hand, I’ll be right there

All the way through the hurt and pain I’ll never leave you

Be right beside you, like a father or mother

Closer than sister or brother

You can believe, you can trust and believe

My love will always be with you

Let it speak in a silent way

Open up your heart

Hear me, hear me, hear me

My love’s here to stay

Let it, let it speak in a silent, silent, silent, silent way

You’ll see my love is right here to stay — my loves here to stay

Hear me, hear me, hear me

Hear me, hear me when I say

Let it, let it speak in a silent, silent, silent, silent way

My love is right here, right here, right here to stay
