(Billy Sherrill/Tammy Wynette)

We sure can love each other, when we try.
Just like in all the love songs, when we try.

And some nights I love you so much,
Content to be beside you.
And when I finally close my eyes,
The sun is high.

But we sure can hurt each other, when we try.
We know all the ways to make each other cry.
But when we forget compassion,
And to forgive is too old fashioned.
We've let everything worth having,
Pass us by.

But we sure can love each other, when we try.
And I know we'll need each other 'til we die.
And we'll grow old together, you and I,
'Cos we sure can each other, when we try.

Yes, we sure can love each other, when we try.
