Lyrics
I tried,
Tried to impress you,
My love,
I gave it all
Each hour ever at your beck and call.
I tried,
Tried to caress you,
My soul,
Filled with desire,
Two arms craving the one I admire.
Your charm was so appealing,
I loved you from the start,
There's still that same old feeling,
Concealed here in my heart.
I tried making you love me,
And you couldn't decide,
But I'll never regret that I tried,
And tried and tried.

thanks for posting, trooper.

i don't know if you know much technical about the trombone, but i played throughout h.s. and college. later i played with a ''community'' band and rubbed elbows with a lot of music faculty from various schools, including mcneese st. u. in lake charles, la. i took lessons from a low brass professor there for a while. his home instrument was the t-bone and shared a lot of his knowledge with me. he stated that dorsey was a master of legato on the instrument.
