Must I Believe

[Verse 1: Brenda Lee]
Must I believe in every breath of life
And the bitter taste of salt from a tear
Must I believe in those that cross my path
And life's shadows disappear

[Verse 2: Brenda Lee]
Why must there always be a place or a time?
A mountain to climb? (Ew, ew, ah)
Why must the poets write tomorrow's too late?
Why can't they find something else to say?

[Verse 3: Brenda Lee, Chorus, Both]
Must I believe, Must I believe in the absence of your love
And the hope you will return to me
Must I believe, Must I believe in the dreams of yesterday
They seem so far away
Must I believe
Must I believe
