Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough, and friends just can't be found

[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down


[Verse 2]
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, oh when darkness comes, and pain is all around

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine, and all your dreams will run their way
See how they shine, oh, if you need a friend, I'm sailing right behind

[Chorus]
