Jim Reeves – How Can I Write On Paper & Across The Bridge lyrics

HOW CAN I WRITE ON PAPER.

1. With pen in hand I tried to write this note to you / I know not (don't know ) where I stand, what I"m I to do / I found so many things to say, since we"re so far apart / How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart.
CHORUS: How can I write on paper what I"m feeling deep inside / words to you would last no longer than it takes the ink to dry / A love as sweet as yours and mine deserves another start / How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart.
2. Those simple things you gave are worth the world to me / But riches been unclaimed you can take or leave / So many things were left unsaid I don"t know where to start / How can I write on paper what I feel in my heart

ACROSS THE BRIDGE

1. I have lived a life of sin / in this world I"m living in / I have done forbidden things I shouldn't do / I asked a beggar along the way If he could tell me where to stay / where I could find real happiness and love that"s true.
CHORUS: Across the bridge there"s no more sorrow / Across the Bridge there"s no more pain / The sun will shine / across the river and you'll never be unhappy again.
2. Follow the footsteps of the King / to hear the voices ring / they"ll be singing out the Glory of the Land / The River Jordan will be there / the sound of trumphets you will hear / and you'll behold the most precious place ever known to man.
