Cross over the Bridge 1954 - Patti Page

If you’re a guy that’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 o’livin', cross over the bridge

Leave you 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 that 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 o’livin', cross over the bridge

Leave you 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 o’livin', cross over the bridge

Leave you fickle past behind you and true romance will find you

Brother, cross over the bridge

Cross over the bridge

Cross over the bridge

Cross over the bridge
