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 water 
I will lay me down, 
Oh like a bridge over troubled water 
I will lay me down. 

When you're down and out, 
when you're on the streets 
When evening falls so hard, 
I [bad word] you, 
I'll take your part, o, when the darkness falls 
And pain is all around. 

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water 
I will lay me down, 
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water 
I will lay me down. 

Sail on silver girl, sail on by 
Your time [bad word] to shine 
All your dreams are on their way. 
See how they shine 
Oh, if you need a friend, 
I'm sailing right behind. 

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water 
I, I will ease your mind, 
Like a bridge over troubled water 
I will easy your mind.
