The Bridge

	They stood on the bridge together
	And watched the river flow
	And to pledge themselves forever
	A place where lovers go
	To fix a lock upon the bridge
	And each would have a key
	That told of their eternal love
	The way that it must be
	And with this key, she said I give
	My soul, my love, my heart
	And if the lock should go from here
	Then I will know that we must part
	Oh but soon he had to leave her
	To be a soldier far away
	And she would go down to the cathedral
	And every morning pray
	To light a candle for her love
	To bring him safely home
	But on the day the letter came
	She knew that he was gone
	With trembling hands, she opened it
	To read the words which said
	"It is with deep regret we must
	Inform you that he's missing, believed dead"
	She stood on the bridge at midnight
	And watched the river flow
	And the lock was in her fingers
	Into the water she would go
	But in the distance heard a voice
	Calling out her name
	And as he ran to her, she fell
	In his arms again
	And with this key I gave, he said
	My soul, my love, my heart
	And when I saw the lock was gone
	I knew that we could never be apart
	We will never part...
