Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics

Willie Nelson

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, and 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 are 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
