(W. Manning)

My lawyer turned and said congratulations
I smiled and told something in return
The moments here at last oh it sure came awfuly fast
And I'm standing on a bridge that I can't burn.

All I have to do is sign the papers
I thought that I would be so unconcerned
Thought my bridges all were crossed but right now I feel so lost
And I'm standing on a bridge I just can't burn.

The bridge of sweet, sweet loving that we once had between us
Somewhere along the way we missed a turn
Now here is sign to sign but I can't even see the line
And I'm standing on a bridge I just can't burn.

Yes, I'm standing on a bridge I just can't burn...
