Flack, Roberta - Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics






When you're weary and feelin' small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough
And friends just can't, 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
And evenin' falls so hard
I will comfort you

And I'll take your part when darkness comes
And pain is all, all around

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how, how they shine

If you need a friend
I'm sailing right, right behind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I can ease, ease your mind

Like a bridge over troubled water
I can ease your mind

    There have been so many aberrated versions of this song over the years, some to the point of characaturation ( excuse me if my spelling is incorrect). What Roberta Flack has demonstrated in her interpetation is a respect for transparency to let the lyricism shine through .WELL DONE R F !

  20. A.... F....

    December 2019. Sorry Simon and Garfunkel, I sincerely love this version.

    I listened to this everyday, especially the evening's. When I was in the darkest years 2015 to the very end of 2017 I was battling the most unimaginable depression. I know we've all been there and have our pain at times, but those were some of the lonelinest, unhealthy, dark, desolate, empty years. I am glad I came out strong, but I hope I leave stronger when I leave earth and better than when I came in. Never give up, keep striving for beauty and life and God bless!

  24. J.... A....

    deleiten se los oídos qué estas canciones están en extinción GRACIAS 2019!

  25. G.... L....

    Diosa, tiene la voz suave como el tacto de un melocotón

  26. L.... B....

    Oh so beautiful... Still brings tears to my eyes.

  27. F.... D....

    Conpared to her, relative Whitney Houston just sounds like she's yelling. Beautiful, unique voice.

  28. B.... L....

    That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever listened to. Sending vibes of peace and love to all.♥️⚡

  29. R.... ....

    BELLISSIMISSIMA X ME

  34. W.... 2....

    Thank Jesus 🙏

  35. m.... B....

    Simply the best rendition of the bridge over troubled water. I have already thought that this song shpuld have been slower than the original. I have watched many renditions, including Whitney, Elvis, Sohyang, Kodi, Clay, Josh Groban, and of course the original. And this is simply what I like the most. It is brilliant in its simplicity. Love this a lot. Thank you for uploading it. (I didnt say the other rendtions are bad, they are intrepretation of the singers and certainly everybody has the right to intrepret the song).

  36. L.... N....

    Her voice alone is just so crystal clear and so beautiful. Anyone here in Nov 2019. ?

  37. b.... c....

    Best version

  38. G.... A....

    so good

  39. B.... S....

    She could sing a phone book

  40. C.... T....

    There is so much sentiment in every lyric when she sings this beautiful song, it makes me to tremble, and 😢 cry, what hymn to friendship!!!

  41. C.... E....

    2019.. you lift me up R.F.....Godbless

    지금 시각은 새벽 2시
    온 우주가 잠자고 있는지 조용 한대
    고요함 속에서 듣는 이 음악
    아름답습니다
    장군이는 피곤 햇는지 코를골고 고양이 루미는 할말있다고 나를좀 보자 내요
    심심 한가 봅니다
    얘내들 은 별로 인가 봅니다
    쇼팡의 녹턴은 좋와 하던대~

  69. C.... W....

    This song is so wrought with the precious gift of reflection and meaningful words that is symbolic of one’s own life’s experiences . On another note, Mrs Flack executes precision and quality in her voice.

  92. l.... ....

    Her voice is incredible, no doubt, but I would have loved to have heard her sing it closer to the original versions tempo and construction. IMHO, it would have been better.

  93. F.... ....

    This softer, gentler version really makes you reach for the tissues. and I'm not usually an emo guy haha.
