[Verse 1]
When you're weary, feeling small
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

[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down

[Bridge]
Sail on children
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

[Chorus]
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will ease your mind
Your mind
I will ease your mind

LeAnn Rimes

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
