When you're weary, feelin' small 
When tears are in your eyes, I will 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 waters 
I will lay me down. 
Like a bridge over troubled waters 
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 waters 
I will lay me down. 
Like a bridge over troubled waters 
I will lay me down. 

Sail on children, sail on by 
Your time has come to shine, all their dreams are on their way 
See how they shine, Oh when you need a friend 
I'm sailing right behind 

Like a bridge over troubled waters 
I will ease your mind 
Like a bridge over troubled waters, 
I will ease your mind. 
I'll ease your mind.
