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 
 
Brother,Cross over the bridge
