Bridge To Terabithia- A Tribute to Leslie Burke

"Bridge to Terabithia" will only be available until the end of 2007. It can be found on "www.cdfreedom.com". Look for SteveSongs' "Marvelous Day" and you'll find it (number 15).

This song contains spoilers. So if you haven't seen the movie yet, or read the book, don't say I didn't warn you about how it ends. Please rate and comment!

Here are the lyrics to the song sung by Mariel Ross.

Hey, Jesse.
Where you running now?
Said you wanted to be the fastest in the fifth grade.
I was just the new girl,
But you let me run anyway,
And though you lost the race
You won a friend that day.

Hey, Jess.
I know it wasn't always easy.
Grownups didn't understand you
And kids could be so mean.
But you and I together
Built a world so far away
Where dragons flew and giants grew
A place for all our dreams

We built a bridge to Terabithia
Filled with castles and magic things
We could be anything we wanted to pretend
We built a bridge to Terabithia
We were the king and queen
And Jess, you should know it's not too late to go back again.

Hey, Jess.
I'm watching from here.
And it's always great to see you when you smile.
The grass is looking greener on the other side.
Remember it only gets that way
After the rain falls awhile.

'Cause I know you've been feeling sad and worried
That I had to go so soon
But Jess, there ain't nothing left to be afraid of.
I'm looking out for you.
And if you're feeling lonely
Or lost somewhere,
If you ever need an angel to lean on
I'll be there

We'll build a bridge to Terabithia
We'll be neverending friends
Under the rain, over the river, and through it all.
And we'll build a bridge to Terabithia
We'll be kings and queens again
Whether it's real
Or just a dream
Whether it's somewhere in between
Wherever it is, we're building that bridge to Terabithia.

Thank you very much. I also cried, and I know that I will always remember it.

Whether it's real

Or just a dream

Whether it's somewhere in between

Wherever it is, we're building that bridge to Terabithia.

woah...! still can't feel the emotion not to cry everytime I hear that song and watch that video... it's really a sad story of true friendship... it makes me really miss my bestfriend... sometimes you just didn't notice what the person means to you... until you lost him/her... that's why it's really hard to accept the fact that this maybe our last goodbye to someone we love and really cared...

Jesus Christ. You guys are so soft xD

Crying at this. This isn't the first time a perfectly wonderful person is sent to heaven.

Death isn't rare. Be ready for it. And understand that heaven doesn't have stress, people who hate on you, or anything of that which you have to go through in life.

It's fine! Don't fear death xD This won't last :D So don't weep because she died. Laugh, smile and cry tears of happiness that she's in a better place <3

[Endemmon]

I never read the book, when i went to see this movie, I was expecting something like a narnia movie... but it was completely different. I was with my girlfriend, we were both shocked at the end of the movie, yes we were both in tears. It was totally unexpected. We were quite for sometime, trying to make sense ot it. It was so sad. From then, I wanted to search for the book, But i haven't found any until now.

Love this song, I've transposed it to guitar and changed the words a bit for third person perspective.
