Singing on the old bridge under a rose colored sky Starlings swaying up above I lost track of time Could be 1979, oh it could be 1979 Singing on the old bridge watch the people passing by On their way to catch a train still they stop and smile Like it's 1979, oh it could be 1979 If I was born 40 years ago I would still come here And I would sing to who would listen And watch the river glisten Here on the old bridge While time fades away Singing on the old bridge Since I was 17 My stage is people's walk way No walls in between Oh, this bridge is yours and mine Oh, this bridge is yours and mine If I was born 40 years ago I would still come here And I would sing to who would listen And watch the river glisten Here on the old bridge Is where I spend my days Where I can make mistakes And people here what I have to say The old folks smile and the children play The place where I grow old and grey While time fades away Yes oh I would sing to who would listen And watch the river glisten Here on the old bridge While time fades away While time fades away While time fades away T-t-t-t-t-time Fades away T-t-t-t-t time Fades away, fades away While time fades away F-f-f-fades away T-t-t-t-t time Fades away T-t-t-t-t time Fades away Fades away T-t-time fades away Fades away T-t-t-t-t time fades away
