A Way To Survive

I look at your picture too often

It helps keep your memory alive

It's not healthy they say to relive yesterday

But for me it's the way to survive

I must cling to what's gone if I've to go on

I can't face the future I've tried

Perhaps for the rest looking back isn't best

But for me it's the way to survive

When my heart aches I read all your letters

And the words make our love seem alive

They say I can't last if I live in the past

But for me it's the way to survive

I must cling to what's gone...
