I Must Be Alive Lyrics by James Carothers

Honky Tonk Land

2014

[Verse]
In the bitter cold of winter
The air burns my lungs outside
In the dead heat of summer
The sun brings the sweat and strife
It don't take a minute
To know that I'm alive
[Chorus]
And if heartbreak does befall me
Then I know I must've loved
And if I'm sad to be without you
It means I once had you enough
I know the hot and cold of seasons
I know everything has a reason
But I can't understand why
I know that I miss you
So I must be alive
[Verse]
When it's falling down around me
When the light don't seem to last
Instead of ridin' to the sunsеt
I just see you in the past
Since I'll have to catch you
On thе other side
I know that I'm alive
[Chorus]
If I'm gonna freeze
At least I can be numb
At least I feel the heat
Before it starts to burn
Been a long since you've gone
I think you left too early on
They say everything
Has got it's time
I just know I miss you
So I must be alive
I know that I miss you
So I must be alive
