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.
