When you're we ary, f eeling s mall,
Wh en t ears ar e in your e yes, I'll dr y them all .

An d friends just c an't be f ound,
Like a bridge over tro ubled wat er,
I will lay me d own,
Like a b ridge over t roubled w ater,
I will l ay me d own.
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 m e dow n.
Sail on silver girl, 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 br idge o - ver t roubl ed water,
I will ease your m ind.
