WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE
(Music: Lew Pollack / Lyrics: Paul Francis Webster)


Lanny Ross - 1934
Will Osborne & His Orch. - 1934


We kissed and love flowed through my heart
Like the water under the bridge, sweetheart
But the roses paled, the Moon turned white
And the water froze 'neath the bridge one night

If the old bridge knew just the way we felt
Then the water that froze 'neath the bridge would melt
And the tide would bring you back to me
And our love would flow as constantly as the water under

The old covered bridge 'cross the old mill stream
Covered with memories
But time passes by, motionless as in a dream
Once you and I watched our reflections smile out of the stream

We kissed and love flowed through my heart
Like the water under the bridge, sweetheart
But the roses paled, the Moon turned white
And the water froze 'neath the bridge one night

If the old bridge knew just the way we felt
Then the water that flows 'neath the bridge would melt
And the tide would bring you back to me
And our love would flow as constantly 
As the water under the bridge
