I'm on your side, ooh
Yes, indeed

When 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 need a friend)
(When you need a friend)

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all

(I'm on your side)
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, yeah

Gonna lay me down
You've got a friend

When you're down and out
When you're out
There on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

(I'll take your part)
I'll take your part
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

Gonna lay me down, yeah

(If you need a friend)
(If you need a friend) hey
(If you need a friend)
Yeah, you got a friend now
(If you need a friend)

Sail on, silver bird
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
Your dreams are on their way
Oh, yeah

(See how they shine)
Oh, see how they shine
If you ever 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

Gonna ease your mind now
You've got a friend, yeah
Let me ease your mind
Oh, you've got a friend

All right, yeah, yeah, woo

Gonna lay me down
(When you need a friend)

(When you need a friend)
I'm sailing right behind you
I'm sailing right behind you

(When you need a friend)
(When you need a friend)
(When you need a friend)…

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge, just like
A bridge over troubled water
I'm gonna lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water
Just like a bridge
Over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

(When you need a friend)
(When you need a friend)…
