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
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
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

Missed you by 2 days🙈
Angelic crystal-deep voice!
A soprano's soprano!
Derry woman
Fabulous!!! Absolutely Fabulous!!
CELESTIAL!!!
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 !
December 2019. Sorry Simon and Garfunkel, I sincerely love this version.
Wow 2019 December but this song still gives me goosebumps love is a beautiful thing
Freakin' MAGNIFICENT!!! My God could this beautiful human being sing like an Angel!!!This is/was Music!-Jeep-USN. Ret.-
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!
deleiten se los oídos qué estas canciones están en extinción GRACIAS 2019!
Diosa, tiene la voz suave como el tacto de un melocotón
Oh so beautiful... Still brings tears to my eyes.
Conpared to her, relative Whitney Houston just sounds like she's yelling. Beautiful, unique voice.
That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever listened to. Sending vibes of peace and love to all.♥️⚡
Rober ......tah!!!
What happened to music they don't make them like this anymore
Doesn't get any better than this
Every word was her heart
BELLISSIMISSIMA X ME
Thank Jesus 🙏
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).
Her voice alone is just so crystal clear and so beautiful. Anyone here in Nov 2019. ?
Best version
so good
She could sing a phone book
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!!!
2019.. you lift me up R.F.....Godbless
What a wonderful version of a great song
Came here after watching The Pursuit of Happyness for the nth time. Both the film and this track are inspiring.
November 2019
Woow!! Es una cancion hermosa, es una version hermosa.. llegan al alma! Its a beautiful song, its a perfect version..

Loving her voice and piano
Oh man I’m in love with her....
We have some parts of this song in our marching band song this year and it’s so beautiful to spin and dance to it. I always tear up
Roberta did rhe best rendition of this song. The boys chorus in the background sounds beautiful
memories are made of this
I say it, with no reservations: DIVA...
Wow! Her voice was so silky smooth and beautiful! What a beautiful soul she was. Sigh...
Who is carrying the melody in the background - it's beautiful. The cover performed by Roberta is absolutely breathtaking as well
This is just flat out great .... wow ... never heard this cover before ... #BRAVO
Roberta Flack is my favourite female singer. Her talent is beyond compare. In my opinion, her version of this song is stunning. It never fails to move me to tears. What a treasure Roberta Flack is, we are blessed to be able to enjoy her music, it never fails to touch ones heart and soul.

She is an extraordinary singer, one of a kind.
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~
👋🇺🇸
いい曲はいい歌手に歌い継がれる。
I sing, and the good music is inherited by a good singer!
I'm crying
This is my go to song when I need a recharge. To me, Roberta Flack sings this beautifully in a hymn like arrangment.
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.
This is beauty, pure and simple.. Thank you for sharing. Roberta is a gift.
Chills - Absolutely beautiful. Thanks you Miss Roberta for sharing your gift.
how could i say !!!! great singer ~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST RENDITION OF THIS GREAT SONG...IT TAKES YOU DIRECTLY TO YOUR DARKEST, LOWEST HOUR....

That was a spiritual experience
She is a good singer but no one can sing it like Art Garfunkel. nobody!!
First time ever I saw your face, first song of hers I loved hearing her sing x
Excelente! !
Magical voice can be healing... a medicine for troubled souls
So Soulful! Never tire listening to Roberta sing such a feeling!
Guy thank you all for your comments, they actually made me so happy . Roberta Flack was my favorite singer of all time. .well she still is . My mom introduced me to miss Flack in 1970 and i have never stopped loving her music .
Sadly Roberta passed away on August 11 of this year.She will be missed but thank god we still have her music for comfort.
R.i.p. songbird.
Frederick Parillon you’re full of crap...she’s not dead. Don’t know why you would say this?
@hampton2108 Thank you a lot..but you are a stupid ignorant person.
That's my opinion and if you dont like my crap...don't eat it.
So your opinion is that a living person is dead? I’m speechless...
Bellisima version de Roberta flack!!!! Me encanto!!!!
I NEVER GET TIRED LISTENING TO THIS CKASSIC!!!!
love her the song awww so beautiful ,i want to use this as my wedding song what do you think folks
Everyone before me has expressed how I feel. Amazing.
I wonder if a young Eva Cassidy ever listened to Ms Flack?. I'm only just the hearing the similarities now in this song,
Exquisite!
I’m having this played at my funeral.
I will lay me down like a bridge over troubled waters
Siento... una Paz única❤❤❤❤
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.
This softer, gentler version really makes you reach for the tissues. and I'm not usually an emo guy haha.
Put me on tears every damn time. Hands down
Overwhelmingly beautiful! <3
A masterclass :)
