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 evening 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 silvergirl,    sail on by,
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.
