  When you're weary,  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 wa-ter
  I will lay  me down.
 Like a bridge  over  troubled  wa-ter
  I will lay  me  down.
  When you're down and out,
  When you're on the street,
  When eve-ning  falls  so hard
  I will comfort  you.
 I'll take  your  part.
  When darkness comes
 And pains is all a-round,
 Like a bridge  over  troubled wa-ter
  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.
  If you need  a friend
 I'm sailing right  be-hind.
 Like a bridge  over troubled  water
  I will ease your mind.
  your mind
