Cross Over the Bridge
Patti Page
Written by Bennie Benjamin and George Weiss

Peaked at # 2 in 1954
Considered by some experts to be one of the pop songs that began to make the transition from 
pop to rock & roll.


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

 	CHORUS
	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

	CHORUS

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

	CHORUS

Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
FADE
Cross over the bridge
