(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
