Píseň: Bridge Of Tears

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Try A Little Love
You told me you'd always love me
 You told me have no fears
 But you left me just standing
 Standing on a bridge of tears
 You left me so hurting lonely
 Now hours seem like years
 I never find peace of mind
 Standing on a bridge of tears


 Those happy hours we spend
 Planning our wedding day
 Made me feel our love was real
 Why did you go away
 I love you
 O how I love you
 I need you I need you here
 Here beside me to guide me
 Guide me cross a bridge of tears


 Those happy hours we spend
 Planning our wedding day
 Made me feel our love was real
 Why did you go away
 I love you
 O how I love you
 I need you I need you here
 Here beside me just to guide me
 Guide me cross my bridge of tears
