Bridge Over Trouble Water

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will 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 silvergirl,
Sail on by.

Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.

See how they shine
If you need a friend
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.
