Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics
[THE CHURCH CHOIR, (MERCEDES)]
Oh troubled water, give it up
Why don't cha, why don't cha, let it be
Yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Still water why be (Why be)
Yes it do, yeah
[MERCEDES]
When you're down and out
When you're in the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort
[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR Harmonizing]
I'll take your part
Yeah, whoa, when darkness comes
And there's no one
[MERCEDES (with THE CHURCH CHOIR)]
No one you love around
Just like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
(Like a bridge over troubled water)
I will lay me down, yeah yeah, ooh
Come on
Sail on Silver Boy
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
And all your dreams are on their way
Oh troubled water, give it up
Why don't cha, why don't cha, let it be
Yeah, yeah (Yeah)
Still water why be (Why be)
Yes it do, yeah
[MERCEDES]
When you're down and out
When you're in the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort
[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR Harmonizing]
I'll take your part
Yeah, whoa, when darkness comes
And there's no one
[MERCEDES (with THE CHURCH CHOIR)]
No one you love around
Just like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
(Like a bridge over troubled water)
I will lay me down, yeah yeah, ooh
Come on
Sail on Silver Boy
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
And all your dreams are on their way
