A BRIDGE THAT JUST WON'T BURN
(Jim McBride / Roger Murrah)

Conway Twitty - 1980


I threw away the pictures of those better days in Dallas
But I can't throw away these pictures in my mind, oh no
She's a page of precious memories I've tried hard to turn
She's standing on a bridge that just won't burn

If only time will heal the hurt, then this may last forever
I may never know how it feels to forget
Ev'ry time I think about her, those old feelings still return
She's standing on a bridge that just won't burn

I've burned a lot of bridges in my time
But the one I just crossed over, Lord, it ain't the burning kind
She's that once in a lifetime kind o' love that never will return
She's standing on a bridge that just won't burn

Oh, she's standing on a bridge that just won't burn
