Lyrics & Music: Bennie Benjamin / George Weiss
If you're a guy who's had a gal in each and every port
and you forget the rules of love that life has always taught;
And if you broke and many hearts as ripples in a stream,
- Well, brother, here's the only way that you can be redeemed!
Chorus;
Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge.
Change your reckless way of living, 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 greenest isles
and if the boat is built of every lie you ever lied,
you'll never reach your promised land of love, I guarantee,
'cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea.
Chorus;
Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge.
Change your reckless way of living, 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 someday you will find that you are hopelessly in love
and she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above.
Chorus:
Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge.
Change your reckless way of living, 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.
