Lyrics
(Don't trouble the water)
I won't (leave it alone)
(Why don't you, why don't you, let it be?)
(Still water run deep... yes, it do)
I know that (whoa, oh-oh-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?)
Hmm (still water run deep)
Yes, it do (yes, it do)
(Whoa-oh-oh, yeah), if you only believe
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
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
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?
Oh, if you ever need a friend (need a friend)
Look around, I'm sailing right behind
Just like a bridge 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
Oh, I'll be your bridge, yes I will
(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)
Yeah (why don't you, why don't you, let it be?)
Come on, come on, walk out on me
(Still water run deep)...
