Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The bridge, so high
The bridge, so tall
Here is where it started
On the bridge
The moon is big and yellow
And the stars are all a' glow
From the bridge I see reflections
In the waters far below
[Verse 2]
You kissed me for the first time
He'd held me awfully tight
And the bridge became our favorite place
We came here often in the night
[Verse 3]
And one night while standing on the bridge
Desire swept through us both
Passion took us by the hand
And showed us where to go
[Verse 4]
From the bridge we saw a meadow
So we ran together there
Where we found love together
Our emotions filled the air
[Verse 5]
The bridge, so wide
The bridge, so long
Where once we stood together
Tonight I stand alone
[Verse 6]
Tonight, while standing on the bridge
My heart is beating wild
To think that you could leave me here
With our unborn child
[Verse 7]
My feet are moving slowly
Closer to the edge
Here is where it started
And here is where I'll end it
