Building a Bridge To Your Heart

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 Derek Hamilton Jan 31,2017

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.
