Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(I'll be your bridge over troubled water)
(I will lay me down)
[Verse 2]
When you're weary
Feelin' small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evenin' falls so hard
I will comfort you
[Verse 5]
I'll take your part
Oh, 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
[Verse 6]
Sail on, silver girl (Sail on, silver girl)
Sail on by (Sail on by)
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
[Verse 7]
(See how they shine) See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend (We need a friend)
Look around, I'm sailin' right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Your mind
(Ease my mind)
Ease your mind
Written by: Paul Simon
