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

    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?

    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

    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?

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

    When we stand together
    It's our finest hour
    We can do anything (anything), anything (anything)
    Keep believin' in the power

    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?
    Yeah, yes, I do

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

    Mmm
    Don't you think it's time?

    Love and only love
    Hey
    Love and only love Writer/s: John Barlow Jarvis, Naomi Ellen Judd, Paul Overstreet

  • Angie Veri (siddall) from B.c. CanadaThis is such a beautifully written song and the music of it is perfect too. The Judd's sing it with so much compassion and put in the emotions with so much love for the listeners to feel heartfelt comfort. A few years ago, I sent a song I had written to Wynonna, to ask her if she would record it for me, but she wasn't taking any new material at that time. I never asked her again.
  • God'swill from Nigeria Am So Much In Love With The Song..... Please Do More..
