Bridges Fade Softly (Version 2)

Verse

Sundown paints the sidewalk gold where we used to walk together

Every shadow tells a story that our feet forgot to measure

You've moved on past the old neighborhood now and I'm left here wondering

Where did the light go between us? Which one of us was the ending

Pre-Chorus

Tell me which bridge still holds your hand

Is it the same one or have you found a different land

Tell me if you can see the way that we used to walk together

Or is it just a memory you carry on the water

Chorus

Bridges fade softly when the love goes away

But in my heart, I keep the path where we used to stay

Every beam remembers how you leaned into the light

And every step still feels your weight tonight

You've moved ahead and left me here to walk alone

But bridges fade softly and this bridge will never be a stone

Verse

I'm standing on the rail, watching sunset paint the sky

Looking down at hands that learned to let you go by

Your laughter rings from underneath the old oak tree

Every time it comes I find myself running after you

Pre-Chorus

Tell me which bridge still holds your hand

Is it the same one or have you found a different land

Tell me if you can see the way that we used to walk together

Or is it just a memory you carry on the water

Chorus

Bridges fade softly when the love goes away

But in my heart, I keep the path where we used to stay

Every beam remembers how you leaned into the light

And every step still feels your weight tonight

You've moved ahead and left me here to walk alone

But bridges fade softly and this bridge will never be a stone

Bridge

Maybe it's not about the road but the view from where I stand

The sunset's golden over what we used to plan

Maybe love doesn't die when you move on ahead of time

Maybe it just stays soft and quietly aligns with me tonight

So if your hand finds another rail down somewhere

Know that mine is right here, still counting every stair

Chorus

Bridges fade softly when the love goes away

But in my heart, I keep the path where we used to stay

Every beam remembers how you leaned into the light

And every step still feels your weight tonight

You've moved ahead and left me here to walk alone

But bridges fade softly and this bridge will never be a stone
