Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics

Ooh
When you're weary feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry then all
I'm on you side

Oh 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

Oh and darkness come
And pain is all around

I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled watеr
I will lay me down
Ooh, I will lay me down
Sail on silver
I will lay mе down
Sail on silver girl
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine

Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Ooh, I will ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Ooh
Like a bridge over troubled water
