Little River Band - Love Is A Bridge Lyrics

Lift up your head, wipe off that mascara
Here take my Kleenex, wipe your lipstick away
Show me your face as clean as the morning
I know things were bad but now they're okay

Suddenly Seymour is standing beside you
You don't need no make up, don't have to pretend
Suddenly Seymour is here to provide you
Sweet understanding, Seymour's your friend

Nobody ever treated me kindly
Daddy left early, momma was poor
I'd meet a man and follow him blindly
He'd snap his fingers, me, I'd say sure

Suddenly Seymour is standing beside me
He don't give me orders, he don't condescend
Suddenly Seymour is here to provide me
Sweet understanding, Seymour's my friend

Tell me these feelings will last 'til forever
Show me the bad times are clean washed away
Please understand that it's still strange and frightening
For losers like I've been, it's hard to say

Suddenly Seymour, suddenly Seymour
He purified me
Suddenly Seymour, suddenly Seymour
Showed me I can, yes, you can

Learn how to be more
The girl that's inside me/you

With sweet understanding
With sweet understandin'
With sweet understanding
With sweet understandin'

With sweet understanding
Seymour's [unverified] man
