Just Across The Bridge Of Gold Lyrics - Hank Snow

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
