(Verse 1)
Met her on a night I won’t 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 could’ve frozen those golden waves
(Chorus)
Bridget, why can’t 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, you’re the one I never let go
Even when I had to walk that road alone
If you gave me a chance, I’d give you the world
For the crazy, beautiful, kind-hearted girl
(Verse 2)
Your mama’s 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 brother’s still my closest friend
Through thick and thin, beginning to end
But you — you’ve always been the spark
A light that flickers still in my heart
(Chorus)
Bridget, why can’t 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, you’re the one I never let go
Even when I had to walk that road alone
If you gave me a chance, I’d give you the world
For the crazy, beautiful, kind-hearted girl
(Bridge)
I’ve had love, I’ve watched it fall
But you were the quiet love behind it all
I see you now with your boys so proud
You’re a damn good mom — 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 won’t be searching anymore
(Final Chorus)
Bridget, why can’t you see?
We might just be what we’re meant to be
Through the hurt, through the years
I’d still trade it all to have you here
Bridget, you’re the one I never let go
Even through the silence and the shadow
If you gave me a chance, I’d give you the world
For the crazy, beautiful, kind-hearted girl
Yeah, Bridget... you’re still my whole world
