Verse 2:
How I wish I could say
All the things that I want to say
If some way you could see what's in my heart
I don't ask for much
A look, a smile, a touch
Try to forget, well the Lord knows I'm tryin'
But it's so hard to forget, girl, when your whole world is dyin'
[repeat chorus and bass/organ section]
[instrumental break over verse 1 chords; vocal re-enters at "try to forget"]
[repeat chorus]
