Lyrics
Bridge Over Troubled Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you're weary and feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough and friends just can't be found
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 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
Your time has come to shine all your dreams're on their way
See how they shine 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
I will ease your mind
