Bridge Over Troubled Water

(Paul Simon)



When you're weary, feeling small

When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all

I'm on your side 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

I'll take your part when 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.

Sail on silver girl, sail on by

Your time has come to shine

All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine, oh if you need a friend

I'm sailing out behind.



Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will ease your mind...
