[Don't trouble the water]
I won't [give it up]
[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]
Yeah if you only believe

[Instrumental]

[Don't trouble the water]
Said I wouldn't [give it up]
[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, and if you're only in need]

When you're down now
When you on the street
When evenin' falls
Somehow I will comfort you

I'll take the part
Whoa when darkness comes
And there's no one you love 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 moon
Sail on by
Your time has come
To shine all of your dreams
Are on their way
[See how they shine?]

Ooooh if you ever need a friend
[Need a friend]
Look around and sailing by
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

[Don't trouble the water]
Said I wouldn't
[Give it up]
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 the water [don't trouble the water]
Yeah
[Give it up, why don't you, why don't you, let it be]
Talkin' 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 [give it up]
Oh!
FADES-
[Why don't you, why don't you, let it be?]
Come on come on
Walk out on me
[Still water run deep]
Oh
