"Love Is All You Can Try"

Capaldi

You're asking me if I can help you
In this world of live and die
But the only thing that I can do
Is try to make you laugh or cry.

Before someone can really help you
You gotta learn to help yourself
But don't get hung up with this message
I'm just concerned about your health.

'Cause I've been to the end and I've come back again
And I know not how or why
But I do know that love is free for the asking
And love O sweet love is all you can try.

I asked a man for some directions
In the early morning frost
'I'm a stranger in this town' - he said
'To tell you the truth, we're both quite lost'.

The temperature was slowly dropping
From our heads down to our toes
And the only thing that I could see
Was the icicles around my nose.

'Cause I've been to the end and I've come back again
And I know not how or why
But I do know that love is free for the asking
And love O sweet love is all you can try.
