Lyrics

I see her face in the quiet night,
Every star carries her light.
Her laughter lingers in the air,
But I’m lost in the pain I left there.
I broke her heart, and it shattered mine,
Each day since, I’ve paid the fine.
I told myself it was too late,
That I deserved this lonesome fate.

But there’s a bridge to the middle, a place to start,
To mend the cracks in our broken hearts.
Two souls that burned, too bright to die,
We crossed that span, beneath the sky.
And in the middle, I found her there,
Love reborn in the autumn air.
No one could replace her fire inside,
She’s the only one I’ll ever abide.

A dear friend saw the pain I hid,
Took it on himself to do what I never did.
With steady hands, he laid the stones,
A bridge for two lost souls alone.
He said, “Son, you’re worth a second chance,
Life’s too short for a backward glance.”
I prayed as I walked, step by step,
To the middle of the bridge where our hearts met.

But there’s a bridge to the middle, a place to start,
To mend the cracks in our broken hearts.
Two souls that burned, too bright to die,
We crossed that span, beneath the sky.
And in the middle, I found her there,
Love reborn in the autumn air.
No one could replace her fire inside,
She’s the only one I’ll ever abide.

The scars we wear, they tell a tale,
Of human weakness, where we failed.
But her heart with mine, I felt this grace,
Of love that time could not erase.
I felt this warmth as I softly said,
"You’re the only one, the love I’ve bled.
No one could ever take your place,
You’re my forever, my saving grace."

But there’s a bridge to the middle, a place to start,
To mend the cracks in our broken hearts.
Two souls that burned, too bright to die,
We crossed that span, beneath the sky.
And in the middle, I found her there,
Love reborn in the autumn air.
No one could replace her fire inside,
She’s the only one I’ll ever abide.

We walked away, hand in hand,
Two hearts healed, one final stand.
On that bridge, under the stars above,
We found our way back to endless love.
