       The Judds were an American country music duo composed of lead vocalist Wynonna Judd and her mother, Naomi Judd. The duo signed to RCA Nashville in 1983 and released six studio albums between then and 1991. The Judds were one of the most successful acts in country music history, winning five Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and nine Country Music Association awards. They also charted more than twenty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including fourteen that went to number one. After eight years as a duo, the Judds disbanded in 1991 after Naomi was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. Wynonna began a solo career soon after, although she and her mother reunited on multiple occasions.

       Naomi Judd committed suicide on April 30, 2022, nineteen days after the final performance of the Judds and a day before the duo's induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

       Love Can Build a Bridge is the sixth and final studio album by American country duo the Judds, released by RCA Nashville in September 1990. It features the singles "Born to Be Blue", the title track, and "One Hundred and Two". The title track has later been covered by several other artists.

I'd gladly walk across the desert

With no shoes upon my feet

To share with you the last bite

Of bread I had to eat

I would swim out to save you

In your sea of broken dreams

When all your hopes are sinkin'

Let me show you what love means

 

Love can build a bridge

Between your heart and mine

Love can build a bridge

Don't you think it's time?

Don't you think it's time?

 

I would whisper love so loudly

Every heart could understand

That love and only love

Can join the tribes of man

I would give my heart's desire

So that you might see

The first step is to realize

That it all begins with you and me

 

Love can build a bridge

Between your heart and mine

Love can build a bridge

Don't you think it's time?

Don't you think it's time?

 

When we stand together

It's our finest hour

We can do anything (anything), anything (anything)

Keep believin' in the power

 

Love can build a bridge

Between your heart and mine

Love can build a bridge

Don't you think it's time?

Don't you think it's time?

Yeah, yes, I do

 

Oh, love can build a bridge (oh, love and only love)

Between your heart and mine (between your heart and mine)

Love can build a bridge (love and only love)

Don't you think it's time?

Oh, don't you think it's time?

 

Mmm

Don't you think it's time?

 

Love and only love

Hey

Love and only love.
