Can't Make It

Dreaded 1st take on one I never did record- I almost did it again, but remembered some wannabe mogul saying, "Vocals out front." My ol' Lyle 12 sang pretty well behind me, an old friend. We go back. Way back.

I can still remember when you came to me
We were lost from loving, that's how we came to be
Never even knowing we could fall in love
Since you've gone I wonder what you're thinking of

We were so like children dancing in the park
Other times, just lovers lying in the dark
I still can't get over what's come over you
I need you to hold me, and tell me what to do

I can't make it on my own
Don't you ever feel alone?
My heart is sinking like a stone
'Cause I can't make it on my own

Sometimes, when I'm dreaming, I can see your face
Haunting as a picture framed in silk and lace
Let me go on sleeping- I won't wake up this time!
Let me go on dreaming- then I know you're mine
