Bridge Over Troubled Water – Lyrics

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I’ll dry them all
I’m on your side

Woh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

(When you’re down and out)
(When you’re on the street)
(When evening falls so hard)
(I will comfort you)
Ooh, I’ll take your part

Oh, and darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

(I will lay me down)
(I will lay me down)
Sail on silver, girl
Sail on by

Your time has come to shine
All your dreams along the way, yeah
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend

I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

(I will ease your mind)
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
(Like a bridge over troubled water)
I will be by your side
I will be by your side
