Building a bridge to your heart


I know... I wasn't there for you
I know... I disappointed you
but... I didn't want to
break your heart

I know...you relied on me
I was a little too carefree
but I didn't want to
break your heart

Chorus

So now I'm gonna build a bridge
Yeah, think I'm gonna build a bridge
So I can come back home, 
and walk across, these rocky waters
Yeah, I'm gonna build a bridge
think I need to build a bridge
to lead me back...
back to your heart

It's taken me so much time
I didn't even realize...
that I broke it...
broke your heart

We cannot go back in time
Now, I've just got to find
another way to bind
your broken heart

Bridge

I think I've got to build it! (oh yeah)
I know I've got to build it! (oh yeah)
Now I'm ready to build it! (for you)

Chorus

So now I'm gonna build a bridge
Yeah, think I'm gonna build a bridge
So I can come back home,
and walk across... these rocky waters
Yeah, I'm gonna build a bridge
think I need to build a bridge
to lead me back...
back to your heart

John, Love the song about building a bridge! Do you create melodies also? I wrote a bridge song, written for a female vocal, I need some distance between your heart and mine...to break it off where you're not concerned....but the tears keep falling down from my eyes and the bridge is to wet to burn.

Thanks Chuck, I do have some melodies but the words come first and the melodies later, but I generally have a melody in mind when I write. I appreciate your visit and positive comments.
