Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you oncе again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
Thеre's a chance that we may fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

Judy Collins

Judith Marjorie Collins (1 May 1939 -) is an American singer and songwriter best known for her clear soprano voice, imaginative song interpretations and for her social activism. She was born in Seattle, Washington, but grew up in Denver, Colorado. She studied classical piano as a child, but turned to the guitar and folk music in her teens through the influence of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.

Collins enjoyed success in folk music from the mid 60s through the 70s, then slowly moved to a more eclectic mix of traditional folk, contem-porary, show tunes and pop. Her discography spans some three dozen albums, with the latest released in 2016.

Collins has also been active in politics and social issues. She actively supported the Youth International Party (the Yippies), founded by Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. She went to Chicago to support the party’s demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Hoffman, Rubin, and several others were arrested for their protest activities. Collins and writer Norman Mailer, Reverend Jesse Jackson, fellow folk singer Arlo Guthrie testified in support of the so-called Chicago Seven during their trial. Collins is also active in children’s issues. She became a UNICEF goodwill ambassador, and has traveled to Vietnam, Bosnia, Herzegovina and Macedonia in support of their fundraising efforts and their campaign to abolish landmines.
