(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
(Yes it do)..
