George Strait - By The Light Of A Burning Bridge lyrics

Oh, I've been stumbling through the darkness

Trying to feel the ground beneath my feet

Afraid of moving much in any direction

Stuck where the past and the future meet

But I finally got my first good look

A little fire was all it took

And as the flames grew brighter I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up

You light a match and your eyes adjust

It's amazing what a man can see by the light of a burning bridge

And there were things I saw that I'm not proud of

Things that I'd do different now from then

But when I really make myself get honest

It's over and I can't go back again

'Cause I finally got my first good look

A little fire was all it took

An' as the flames grew brighter I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up

You light a match and your eyes adjust

It's amazing what a man can see by the light of a burning bridge

It sure is hard to let go and to leave the past behind

But there ain't no other way that you can find some peace of mind

When I fin'lly got my first good look

A little fire was all it took

And as the flames grew brighter I saw everything that I'd missed

Once you get your courage up

You light a match and your eyes adjust

It's amazing what a man can see by the light of a burning bridge

It's amazing what a man can see by the light of a burning bridge
