Sung by Roberta Flack 

When you're weary
 Feeling 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
 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
