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...
