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 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, 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 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 troubled water
   I will ease your mind
   Like a bridge over troubled water
   I will ease your mind
