The bridge, we'll build it now
It may take a lot of time
And it maybe lonely but
Ooh baby, ooh baby
The bridge was falling down
And that took a lot of lies
And it made me lonely
Ooh baby, ooh baby
The bridge was falling
The bridge was falling
The bridge was falling
One day, when you talked to me
I saw myself again
And it made me love you
Ooh baby, ooh baby
And love came running down
Like a river on your skin
And you let me in
Ooh babe, ooh babe
You let me in
You let me in
You let me in
The bridge, we'll build it now
It may take a lot of time

The bridge, we'll build it now
It may take a lot of time
And it may be lonely but
Ooh baby, ooh baby
The bridge was falling down
But that took a lot of lies
And it made me lonely
Ooh baby, ooh baby
The bridge was falling
The bridge was falling
The bridge was falling
And love came running down
Like a river on your skin
And you let me in
Ooh babe, ooh babe
One day, when you talked to me
I saw myself again
And you made me lonely
Ooh baby, ooh baby
You let me in
You let me in
You let me in
The bridge, we'll build it now
It may take a lot of time
And it may be lonely but
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby
Love came running
Love came running
Love came running
Ooh baby
