Hank Snow - Just Across the Bridge of Gold lyrics

Written & Recorded by Hank Snow As the twilight shadows deepen Where the weeping willow waves, All alone in tears I'm kneeling O'er my sweetheart's lonely grave. CHORUS I am asking God's forgiveness, For you're waiting there I know, Out beyond that blue horizon Just across the bridge of gold. I regret those words I've spoken Every yesterday of tears That I caused you little darling As we wandered through the years CHORUS If I'd only read your letter Saying you were in despair That your weary heart was broken And in pain was lying there. CHORUS I tonight would not be weeping O'er the roses on your grave. But instead dear I'd be happy And this sorrow I'd have saved. CHORUS If I only would have listened When you told me not to stray But I said I loved another Left you there and went away. CHORUS Now my life is sad and lonely Down life's path I trudge along But I'll meet you up in heaven When from this old world I've gone. CHORUS
