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 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
