There Goes a Man Who Tried versuri

Versuri Larry Ellis – There Goes a Man Who Tried lyrics

The life I’ve lived will clearly show
I’ve loved the lily and the rose
With equal love and equal heart.
How can a man tell them apart?

And as I looked toward the stars,
Venus was all the same as Mars.
The handiwork of God and man
I’ve loved as well as one man can.

Love is the best we each can give
As long as we’re allowed to live

Maybe someone will say of me,
„There goes a man who tried.
In his own fumbling way,
There goes a man who tried.”

And I have loved, without regret,
So many people newly met —
Some of those who only smiled
And tried to please me for a while.

And I’ve gone into unknown beds
With unfamiliar, tousled heads…
And if it wasn’t always right,
I never once accused the night.

Love is the best we each can give;
The only reason left to live!

Maybe someone will say of me,
„There goes a man who tried.
In his own stumbling way,
There goes a man who tried.”

Surely my God will say of me,
„There goes a man who tried!”
And when I die, he’ll awaken me,
Sayin’, „There goes a man who tried!”
