(Verse 1)
Met her on a night I wonāt forget
Smoke in the air, no regrets
Laughed like fools, drank like thieves
She danced like the world was hers to leave
Hung out a few times, not near enough
Every time she smiled, it lit me up
Carefree days in a reckless haze
Wish I couldāve frozen those golden waves
(Chorus)
Bridget, why canāt you see?
You were always more than a memory
Through the years, through the pain
You're the sun I crave in the pouring rain
Bridget, youāre the one I never let go
Even when I had to walk that road alone
If you gave me a chance, Iād give you the world
For the crazy, beautiful, kind-hearted girl
(Verse 2)
Your mamaās got a heart made of gold
Took me in when I had no home
Fed me hope, gave me a name
Loved me like her own, without shame
Your brotherās still my closest friend
Through thick and thin, beginning to end
But you ā youāve always been the spark
A light that flickers still in my heart
(Chorus)
Bridget, why canāt you see?
You were always more than a memory
Through the years, through the pain
You're the sun I crave in the pouring rain
Bridget, youāre the one I never let go
Even when I had to walk that road alone
If you gave me a chance, Iād give you the world
For the crazy, beautiful, kind-hearted girl
(Bridge)
Iāve had love, Iāve watched it fall
But you were the quiet love behind it all
I see you now with your boys so proud
Youāre a damn good mom ā you stand out in the crowd
(Verse 3)
Sometimes I wonder if you ever knew
The way I saw the world when it was me and you
Just give me one try, one open door
I swear you wonāt be searching anymore
(Final Chorus)
Bridget, why canāt you see?
We might just be what weāre meant to be
Through the hurt, through the years
Iād still trade it all to have you here
Bridget, youāre the one I never let go
Even through the silence and the shadow
If you gave me a chance, Iād give you the world
For the crazy, beautiful, kind-hearted girl
Yeah, Bridget... youāre still my whole world
