Must I Believe

Brenda Lee · New Sunrise [MCA] [1974]

(Eddie Polo)



Must I believe in every breath of life

And the bitter taste of salt from the sea

Must I believe in those that cross my path

And life's shadows disappear.



Why must there always be a place

Or a time a mountain to climb

Why must the poets write tomorrow's too late

Why can't they find something else to say?



Must I believe in the absence of your love

And the hope you will return to me

Must I believe in the dreams of yesterday

They seem so far away, must I believe, must I believe?...
