Paul Simon
Bridge Over Troubled Water
[Verse 1]
When you're weary
Feeling small
And 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
They 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 weary
When you're on the street
When darkness comes so hard
Don't you know I'll comfort you?
I'll take your part
When darkness comes, yes
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right, right behind
[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
[Bridge]
Mmmhmm
[Verse 3]
Sail on, silver girl (Sail on, silver)
Mmm, why don't you sail on by? (Sail on, silver)
You know the time has come
Has come for you to shine (Sail on, silver)
And all your dreams will come their way (Sail on, silver)
And see how they shine (Sail on, shine)
Lord, if you need a friend
I'm sailing, I'm sailing right behind you
[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge, a bridge over troubled water
[Refrain]
I will ease your mind, yes ah-ha
Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
[Outro]
Like a bridge over
Troubled water
I will ease your mind
