When you're weary, feelin' small,
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all;
I'm on your side.

Oh, when times get through, and friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over trouble water, I will lay me down,
Like a bridge over trouble water, I will lay me down.

When you're down and out, when you're on the street,
When everything falls so hard I'll comfort you.
I'll take your part.
Oh, when darkness comes and pain is all around,
Like a bridge over trouble water, I will lay me down,
Like a bridge over trouble 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.

Oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over trouble water, I will lay me down,
Like a bridge over trouble water, I will lay me down.
