"Alive And Well" lyrics

"Alive And Well"

I wish my love for you could die the way that your love did for me
I wish that I could lay to rest the mem'ry of how good it used to be
If I could I'd take a gun aim it at the past and shoot to kill
Instead I lay here every night and know my love for you is still

Alive and well and in the best of health
Although it's been through hell since you left
It hasn't shown no sign of giving up
It still won't let me love nobody else
My love for you is still alive and well

I didn't know that love could ever live this long all by itself
And keep on feeling just as strong as it was feeling on the day you left
In this cold and lonely bed your memory should die just from the chill
But it stays warm inside my heart cause all my love for you is still

Alive and well and in the best of health
Although it's been through hell since you left
It hasn't shown no sign of giving up
It still won't let me love nobody else
My love for you is still alive and well
...
