Way to Survive

(Hank Cochran - Moneen Carpenter)



I look at your picture too often

It helps keep your mem'ry 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'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 the way to survive.



--- Instrumental ---



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 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 the way to survive...
