Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics

[Intro]
(Don't trouble the water)
I won't (Leave it alone)
(Why don't you, why don't you, let it be?)
Um hum hum
(Still water run deep... yes it do)
I know that
(Whoa-o-o-yeah)
If you only believe
(Don't trouble the water)
Said I wouldn't (Leave it alone)
(Why don't you, why don't you, let it be?)
Umm (Still water run deep)
Yes it do
(Yes it do whoa-oh-ho yeah), if you only believe

[Verse 1]
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, is all around

[Chorus]
Just like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
(Like a bridge)
Just like a bridge
(Over troubled) over troubled water
I will lay me down

[Verse 2]
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All of your dreams are on their way
(See how they shine?)
Ooooh and if you ever need a friend
(Need a friend)
Look around, I'm sailing right behind

[Chorus]
Just like a bridge
(Bridge) (Over) over (Troubled) water
I'll be there to lay me down
(Like a bridge)
Like a bridge over (Troubled water) troubled water
I will lay me down
Ooooh I'll be your bridge
Yes I will

[Bridge]
(Don't trouble the water)
Said I wouldn't
(Leave it alone)
Well (Why don't you, why don't you, let it be?)
Uh-huh (Still water run deep)
I know that
(Yes it do) yeah (Oh-oh-oh yeah)
Still water (Don't trouble the water)
Yeah
(Leave it alone, why don't you, why don't you, let it be)
Talking bout still water
(Still water run deep)
You know they run deep
(Yes it do) uh-huh (Oh-ho-ho-yeah)
Well I'm gonna be your bridge yeah!
(Don't trouble the water)
The troubled water (Leave it alone)
Oh!

[Outro]
(Why don't you, why don't you, let it be?)
Come on come on
Walk out on me
(Still water run deep)
Oh
(Yes it do)...
