Lyrics:

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
