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 a way to survive

I must cling to what's gone if I'm 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 a 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 a way to survive

I must cling to what's gone if I'm 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 a way to survive
