When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all,
I'm at 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!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
When you're down an' 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 . . .
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down!
Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
Your time has come to shine, all your dreams are on their way,
See how they shine,
