' A bridge too far '
by Thaddeus Hutyra

I have loved you, my love
I cherished you, my love
I showed you everything I could
I did for you everything you wanted
yet we're now strangers
more strange to each other
than the greatest strangers
there can be found
in this treacherous world

Have I did something what pushed you away
Have I gone too far, a bridge too far ?
Say, say, my love, what have I done
that turned you away from me ?
I still believe no bridge is too far
for a love as ours, a rebel love
Yes, no bridge, no bridge
no bridge is too far
for you and me
for our love, my dear
We were though rebel hearts
swearing etarnal love
Don't you remember it, my love ?

I have travelled with you to the most exciting places
of this world full of mysteries
To vibrant New York and maddening Las Vegas
both pulsating with life
to San Francisco with its glossy blue, shiny bays
Rio de Janeiro, Venice, Paris, the town of lovers
so many other places across the world
Yet perhaps I did something
what pushed you away
something what was a bridge too far

You had warned me so many times
not to spend so much money
You said a fool and his money are soon parted
In a response I laughed, long and heartily
but I never imagined I was even a bigger fool
knowing nothing about the dark clouds
curling on and on, and twisting
above my head
till one day you were gone
and I stayed alone
a fool, king of the fools
Now I know you meant it deeper
not only money but also me, our love

Say, say, my love, what have I done
that turned you away from me ?
I still believe no bridge is too far
for a love as ours
Yes, no bridge, no bridge
no bridge is too far
for you and me, for our love
What have I done, my dear
I became a fool, the king of the fools ?
We were though rebel hearts
swearing etarnal love
Don't you remember it, my love ?

Perhaps we needed a fresh pair of eyes
to warn us for what's going to happen
Now it's too late although you're still
most dear in my heart than anything else
We see each other from time to time
and you always pretend not to see me at all
I am the air, I am a breeze of the wind
perhaps some sound which means nothing
You just pass me without meeting my eyes
as if I never existed, never in your life
and not even in my own life

Say, say, my love what have I done
that turned you away from me ?
I still believe no bridge is too far
for a love as our one
Yes, no bridge, no bridge
no bridge is too far
for you and me
for our love
What have I done, my dear
I became a fool, the king of the fools

Must I now be a lost ball in the high weeds ?
Can't you enlighten me ?
Oh, say, say, my love what have I done
that turned you away from me
for I still believe no bridge is too far
for a love as ours
Yes, no bridge, no bridge
no bridge is too far
for you and me
for our love, my dear

Perhaps you have indeed forgotten me
rejected
given no chance to return
no chance at all
but I love you and shall love you
forevermost
I don't care what people say
or shall ever say
Let the devil take the hindmost !
I don't care, don't care, don't care !!
You are my earthly angel
love's signpost
sense of life

I'm yours, yours forever in my dreams
and nobody, neither nothing
shall change it, my dear
I was your lover
now am your stranger
Let it be so, that's though life
up and down, just life
with its highs and downs turning round
like a maddening carousel
Bye, bye, my love, bye, bye
I am your stranger
strangest of all strangers
perhaps a fool, the king of fools

You held me in your hands
I held you in my arms
for so many nights
under the heavenly coat
full of shining stars
and for so many days
in the shadows of our botanical garden
in the cities worldwide
and mountainous sceneries
It lasted for years in fact
and yet we're now strangers
once lovers now fools
strangers, as simple as this

Dead autumn leaves
have already replaced
life giving spring and summer leaves
We have gone the same way
the nature does it, indeed
Must love be so mischievous
getting the downward path?
No, I firmly believe
after a winter of things gone wrong
there comes a spring
of blooming love
with a new spring alike energy

Say, say, my love what have I done
that turned you away from me ?
I still believe no bridge is too far
for a love as ours
Yes, no bridge, no bridge
no bridge is too far
for you and me
for our love, my dear
What have I done I became a fool
king of the fools
a fool, fool, complete fool ...
