I'LL HAVE MADE IT TO THE BRIDGE
(Charlie Louvin / Ira Louvin)

Charlie Louvin - 1964



 
Yes, by the time you read my note
I'll have made it to the bridge

I won't be looking for you anymore
No more lonely nights like all the nights before
The thorn in your side will no longer be the wedge
Yes, by the time you read my note
I'll have made to the bridge

I'll walk these last two miles but I'll be walking slow
'Cause I'll be living memories of a love I used to know
Each step leaves you farther behind and me closer to the ledge
And by the time you read this note
I'll have made it to the bridge

(Instrumental Break)

I can't bear to live with loneliness
And without you there's only emptiness
How sad is life for one who lives it from the edge
And by the time you read my note
I'll have made it to the bridge

Yes, I'll walk these last two miles
And I'll make it to the bridge
