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
