Don't you believe I've tried long enough
Don't you just believe it's time
Don't you believe I've gone far enough
Don't you just believe it's time
Lord knows I've tried
Just to keep you off my mind
But it's no use
Nothing works
You just stay with me all the time
So don't you believe I've tried long enough
Don't you just believe it's time
Don't you believe I've gone far enough
Don't you just believe it's time
All I do is follow you
Reaching for you with my mind
Your sweet love is all I need
And I think you've known it all the time
Don't you believe I've tried long enough
Don't you just believe it's time
Don't you believe I've gone far enough
Don't you just believe it's time
So don't you believe I've tried long enough
Don't you just believe it's time
Don't you believe I've gone far enough
Don't you just believe it's time

Don Williams' song 'Don't You Believe' is a reflective piece about a persistent love that cannot be escaped. The narrator admits to trying to move on but failing, as the beloved remains constantly on his mind. While the lyrics do not explicitly mention God, the repeated phrase 'Lord knows I've tried' suggests a spiritual dimension, and the theme of an inescapable, all-consuming love can be interpreted as a metaphor for divine love. The song conveys a sense of surrender to a love that is both sweet and unavoidable.
