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
[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR, (MERCEDES), {THE CHURCH CHOIR}]
See how they shine, (Oh!)
(If you ever need a friend) {Need a friend}

[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR Harmonizing]
Look around, look around
I'm sailing right behind

[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR, (MERCEDES)]
Like a bridge over troubled water
(I'll be there to lay me down)
Like a bridge over troubled water
(I will lay me down)

[THE CHURCH CHOIR, (MERCEDES)]
Oh troubled water (Yeah, yeah)
Give it up (Give it up, yeah)
Why don't cha, why don't cha let it be
(Let it be, yeah, yeah, let it be)
Still water runs deep (Still water runs deep)
Yes it do (Yes they do)

[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR]
Oh, yeah, yeah

[THE CHURCH CHOIR, (MERCEDES)]
Oh troubled water (Oh troubled water)
Give it up (Give it up, yeah)
Why don't cha, why don't cha, let it be
(Let it, let it, let it, let it, let it, let it, let it be yeah)
Still water run deep, yes it do (Hey hey)
[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR]
Ohhhhh, yeah...

[THE CHURCH CHOIR, (MERCEDES)]
Oh troubled (Troubled) water (I'll be there when you need a friend)
Give it up
Why don't cha, why don't cha (To lay me down)
Let it be (I'll be your bridge over troubled water)
Still water runs deep (hey hey yeah)
Yes it do (Yes they do)

[MERCEDES with THE CHURCH CHOIR]
Oh troubled water...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
