Like A Bridge Over Troubled Water

I’m not real good at knowing the lyrics to songs. My husband laughs at me. Here I am singing: “Like a bridge over troubled water….nnaaa naaaa naahha naaaa naaaa. Like a bridge over troubled water.” I mean, how hard could it be to learn some lyrics? For me that’s a toughie. Anyway, my new thing is to memorize some songs that I love.

Here are the lyrics to, “Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water” There will be a quiz later on. And, because I can’t carry a tune worth toots, here’s an video of Art Garfunkel singing it.

Bridge Over Trouble Water

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. 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.
When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine
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.
