Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics


When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them allI'm on your side
Oh when times get rough
And friends
Just can't be foundLike a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me downDon't trouble the water
Leave it alone
Why don't you, why don't you?
Let it beWhen you're down and out
When you're on the street
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hardI will comfort you
I will comfort youI'll take your part
When darkness comes

There's no love aroundLike a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me downStill waters run deep
Yes they doSail on silver girl
Sail on by
Sail on, sail on, sail onYour time has come
To shine all your dreams
Are on their way
Your dreams are on their way
See how they shineIf you need a friend
Need a friend
I'm sailing
Right behindLike a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
