When you're weary feeling small when tears are in your eyes I'll 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 [ strings ] 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 I'm sailing out behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind
