Lyrics Bridge Over Troubled Water (Live At Fillmore West, San Francisco, February 5, 1971) - Aretha Franklin

(Don′t trouble the water) Don't trouble the water
(Give it up)
(Why don′t you, why don't you, let it be?) Hmm
(Still waters run deep) Still waters run deep
(Yes, it does) Yes, they do
(Oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah)
When you're down now
If you look up and see yourself on the street
When evenin′ falls (when evenin′ falls)
Somehow I'll be there to comfort you
I′ll take the part
I'll take it when darkness falls
And that is all, is all around
Just like a bridge over troubled water
I′ll be there to lay me down
Just like a bridge (like a bridge)
(Over troubled water) Over, over troubled and stormy waters
I'll be there to lay me down (come, and lay me down)
(Come, and lay me down) Yes, I will
Yes, I will
Sail on silver ball
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All of your dreams are on their way
(See how they shine?) See how, see how they shine?
Oh, if you ever need a friend (need a friend)
If you ever do, look around, I′m sailing by
Sailing right behind
(Like a bridge) Just like a bridge
(Over troubled water) Like a bridge over, over troubled water
I swear, I'll be there, I'll be there to lay me down
(Like a bridge) Just like a bridge
(Over troubled water) Over troubled water
I′m gonna be there, gonna be there to lay me down (come, and lay me down)
(Come, and lay me down) Oh, yes I will
(Don′t trouble the water) So don't trouble the waters
(Give it up)
(Why don′t you, why don't you, let it be?) Why don′t you tell me to go?
(Still waters run deep) Still water runs so deep
(Yes it does) Oh (oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah)
Yes it do, Woo!
(You all right?)
(Are we moving in the right direction?)
