(No One Can Say) I Didn't Try - Karaoke
This heart-string yanking song that just drips with 80sness is part of a very obscure and rare Christmas cartoon special that my friend found and showed to me. It's such a sweet little cartoon and it made me cry at several points because I was somewhat depressed tonight and I identify with Bert a lot in life.
I decided I really wanted to sing the song he sang near the beginning of it with all my heart. It's not perfect and I won't be winning American Idol any time soon, but I still really impressed myself with how much I projected, quavered, and stayed on key. I wanted to share with my friends. =)
I also think I've come a long way since "Sweaty & Hot." ¬_¬ XD
In case anyone's interested in the cartoon special, it's called "A Merry Mirthworm Christmas." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEe57TDkOZc The song's at about 5:45 in.
Song Lyrics:
It's happened before. It's happened again. I close all the doors, before I get in. Everything I do, seems to turn out in a mess, but it's not because I haven't tried my best. At least no one can say I didn't try. I gave it all I had, Now what's left is just goodbye. I'll do the best I can until the day I die, Then at least no one can say I didn't try.
I'll find a place, where I don't do anything wrong. Sometime, somehow, someway, I'll find where I belong. Doesn't have to be fancy. Doesn't have to be grand. Just a place where I know I can lend a hand. At least no one can say I didn't try! I gave it all I had Now what's left is just goodbye! I'll do the best I can until the day I die! Then at least no one can say I didn't try. Then at least no one can say I didn't try.
