Old Rustic Bridge Songtext
von Ann Breen

I′m thinking tonight
Of the o-old rustic bridge
That bends o'er a murmuri-ing stream
It was there Maggie dear
With our hearts full of cheer
We strayed ′neath the moo-oon's gentle beam

'Twas there I first met you
The light in your eyes
Awoke in my heart a sweet thrill
Though now far away
Still my thoughts fondly stray
To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill


Beneath it a stream gently rippled
Around it the bir-irds loved to trill
Though now far away
Still my thoughts fondly stray
To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill
Instrumental
I keep in my memory
Our love of the past
With me it′s as bright as of old
For deep in my heart
It was plan-ted to last
In absence it ne-ever grows cold

I think of you darlin′
When lonely at night
And when all is pea-eaceful and still
My heart wanders back
In a dream of delight
To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill

Beneath it a stream gently rippled
Around it the bir-irds loved to trill
Though now far away
Still my thoughts fondly stray
To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill
To the old rustic bri-idge by the mill
