The Bridge

by Samantha (Sam)   Nov 6, 2004


Underneath this bridge,
I kissed you for the first time
each on tasted sweeter then the last,
as tears dripped from the concrete ceiling
shameful ducks watched us from a distance

Underneath this bridge
I gave myself to you in love
afraid waves would wash away our dreams
knowing only love can make the heart brave
dove deeper in our tainted translucent stream

Underneath this bridge
I made a sacred promise to you
vowing to forever protect you from the storm
unaware that nature could take hold of fate
& revere the flow of an ancient river

Underneath this bridge
these waters began to churn
the hard winds blew spreading fire through trees
leaving the riverbed tattered & singed
Love burned the heart like nothing had before

Underneath this bridge,
that is in peeves on the ground
I stand alone, you are on the other side of the river
rain pours drenching me & leaving me cold
No bridge to protect me. no you to hold.....

In a dream I hold you close
Embracing you with my hands
You gazed at me with eyes full of love
& You made me understand
That I was meant to share with you
My heart my mind my soul
Then I open my eyes & all I see
Reality shows I'm alone
But I know someday that you'll be my side
B/c I know GOD is just waiting tail the time is right

GOD will you keep him safe from the thunder storm
When the day is cold, will you keep him warm
When darkness falls, will you please shine him the way
GOD will you let him know that I love him so
When there's no one there, that he's not alone
Just close his eyes & let him know that my heart is beating with his

So I pray...until that day (until that day)
When our hearts beat as one (when our hearts beat as one)
I will wait so patiently (patiently) for that day to come
I know some day that you'll be by my side
B/c I know GOD just waiting tail the time is right

GOD will you keep him safe from the thunder storm
When the day is cold, will you keep her warm
When darkness falls, will you please shine him the way
GOD will you let him know that I love him so
When there's no one there, that he's not alone
Just close his eyes & let him know that my heart is beating with his

It's beating with his...my heart is beating with his...it's beating with his

GOD will you keep him safe from the thunder storm
When the day is cold, will you keep him warm
When darkness falls, will you please shine him the way
GOD will you let him know that I love him so
When there's no one there, that he's not alone
Just close his eyes & let him know that my heart is beating with his

Oh...oh....it's beating with his

(Whispers: It's beating with his)
