Old Red Covered Bridge

VERSE-1: Under the Pennsylvania skies, In a town where I was Born, Stands an old red covered bridge, Where sweethearts Love and cry, The water ripples down below, The moon shines bright above, Sweethearts kiss and share their love, As their eyes give off a glow. CHORUS: The old red covered bridge, Stands Raggedy and worn, Withered from the storm, Up across the ridge, That old red covered bridge, Still stands there on the ridge That's where I gave my heart, And promised to never part, VERSE-2: In the sky above the bridge, Shining in their eyes, Glistening stars across the ridge, Twinkle as the night goes by, So when I come I bring my love, To the place that holds the truth, And every kiss will be enough, Underneath the roof. CHORUS: The old red covered bridge, Stands Raggedy and worn, Withered from the storm, Up across the ridge, That old red covered bridge, Still stands there on the ridge That's where I gave my heart, And promised to never part,
