Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon And Garfunkel · Other Songs - Simon And Garfunkel
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all (ooooo)
I'm on your side
Oh 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 your down and out
When your on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh when darkenss 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
Look around
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
