When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all
I'm on your side, oh 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 evenin' falls so hard, I will comfort you
I'll take your part, oh 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 silver girl, sail on by
And 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
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
