Try The Impossible Lyrics
Try the impossible
Try to understand the
Way I feel about you
Try the incredible
For in trying, all of my
Dreams might come true
Try to understand you're
Everything I ever hoped for
And if you try to make it survive
Take my heart, it will be yours
I really mean it
When I tell you I'll be
At your beck and call
Tell me you want me and
Our love will conquer all
The need for you
Just to be with you
Is the reason why
I plead to you
Make the impossible
The incredible
And all of my
Dreams come true
I really mean it
When I tell you I'll be
At your beck and call
Tell me you want me and
Our love will conquer all
Oh, the need for you
Just to be with you
Is the reason why
I plead to you
Make the impossible
The incredible
And all of my
Dreams come true
Try the impossible

I was lucky enough to see them a few times. Fantastic harmony!

I was a teen in the 60s, so Lee Andrews and the Hearts were oldies by that time, but this song was my high school boy friend's and my song. I still love this song - absolutely timeless. RIP, Lee. Thanks for the music!
James Somers
They just never came any better. Love there music.

Just heard of Lee's passing. Before my time but what a loss. With a piano, bass and the smoothest harmony I ever heard WOW!
Rest in peace man. Defined a much more innocent time. Big American cars, no mass shootings. Young people just having fun and enjoying their youth.

@Clyde B While I do not deny Wikipedia as an okay website to get certain information; the number of deaths by mass shooting or mass murder would be inaccurate at such website especially since in many Southern States during the time period didn't hold such records unless a benefit to them. Though, the same could be said today however the internet makes the outcome of today's more accurate than back then. If holding to such opinion makes me a 'maggot' -- so be it.

@David Arnold You are a maggot. Are you clinically insane? There are 117 mass killings in the USA from 2010 until now. Lookup wikipedia. How many in the 1950s?
David Arnold
Ignorant of history, huh? Must be. In your mind the 1950s must have been rainbows and lollipops. Oh, by the by: since, I believe, 1890, there's been a mass shooting (or bombing for that guy in the early 20th century who bombed little children at a school) every single decade including the 1950s. Though, granted, they only had the one but the murder rate was pretty high, especially in the Southern US. Stop living in fairytaleland.
