Love Can Build a Bridge Lyrics

[Verse 1: Cher, Chrissie Hynde]
I'd gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
Of bread I had to eat

I'd would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinking
Let me show you what love means

[Chorus: Cher, Chrissie Hynde, Cher and Chrissie Hynde with Neneh Cherry]
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge

Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?

[Verse 2: Cher, Neneh Cherry]
I would whisper love so loudly
Every heart could understand
That love and only love
Can join the tribes of man

I would give my heart's desire
So that you might see
The first step is to realize
That it all begins with you and me
[Chorus: Cher, Chrissie Hynde, Cher and Chrissie Hynde with Neneh Cherry]
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge

Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?

[Guitar Solo: Eric Clapton]

[Bridge: Cher, Chrissie Hynde, Cher and Chrissie Hynde with Neneh Cherry]
When we stand together
It's our finest hour

We can do anything, anything
Anything anything
Keep believin' in the power

[Chorus: Cher, Chrissie Hynde, Neneh Cherry, all]
Love can build a bridge (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Between your heart and mine (Listen now)
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?

Love can build a bridge (Oh, love and only love)
Between your heart and mine (It's in your heart and mine)
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
