If I could build a bridge that stretches all the way to you
We could paint a summer scene, we two
Lapis all across the bay, silver for the stars in flight
If I could build a bridge
Tonight
I would follow my heart
But it doesn’t know where you are
Or if you’d be there waiting for me
I’d build a bridge if I could then I’d build it to you
And I would line it in gold and it would get me over
These lonely nights so I could feel something new
Out of the darkness I’d cross under the light of the moon
If I could build a bridge to you
I would follow my heart
But it doesn’t know where you are
Or if you’d be there waiting for me
If I could build a bridge, I’d be working overtime
Concrete and steel, laboring day and night
Blueprints and stolen glances to prove all the lines are true
If I could build a bridge, I’d build it to you
CHARLES: I would follow my heart
KATE: But it doesn’t know where you are
MICHAEL: Or if you’d be there waiting for me
ALL: And in this dream of mine, you call me up
And say, “I want you to”
Then I build a bridge to you
Then I build a bridge to you
