(Bennie Benjamin and George Weiss)
|
If you're a guy who's had a gal
|
In each and every port
|
And you've forgot the rules of love
|
That life has always taught
|
And if you broke as many hearts
|
As ripples in a stream
|
Well, brother, here's the only way
|
That you can be redeemed
|
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Change your reckless way of livin'
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Leave your fickle past behind you
|
And true romance will find you
|
Brother, cross over the bridge
|
|
If you have built a boat
|
To take you to the greener side
|
And if the boat is built
|
Of ev'ry lie you ever lied
|
You'll never reach the Promised Land of love
|
I guarantee
|
'Cause lies cannot hold water
|
And you'll sink into the sea
|
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Change your reckless way of livin'
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Leave your fickle past behind you
|
And true romance will find you
|
Brother, cross over the bridge
|
|
I know it isn't easy
|
To resist temptation's call
|
But think of how your broken heart
|
Will hurt you when you fall
|
'Cause some day you will find
|
That you are hopelessly in love
|
And she'll belong to someone else
|
As sure as stars above
|
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Change your reckless way of livin'
|
Cross over the bridge
|
Leave your fickle past behind you
|
And true romance will find you
|
Brother, cross over the bridge
|
|
Cross over the bridge
|
