Cross Over the Bridge

Cross Over The Bridge

(Bennie Benjamin / George David Weiss)

Cross Over the Bridge Lyrics

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

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
