Merry Clayton - Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics

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
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're out there on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you oh, 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, pretty girl oh sail on by
Your time has come
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
Why don't you
Why don't you 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
