Bridge Over Troubled Water
Finding Solace: LeAnn Rimes' Melody of Support and Comfort
Lyrics
When you're weary, feelin' small
Expressing empathy for someone feeling weary and small.
When tears are in your eyes
Acknowledging tears in the person's eyes.
I will dry them all
Commitment to comfort and support, drying the tears.
I'm on your side
Stating allegiance, being on the person's side.
Oh, when times get rough
Offering assistance during tough times.
And friends just can't be found
Noting the absence of friends and the challenge of the situation.
Like a bridge over troubled waters
Metaphorically comparing support to a bridge over troubled waters.
I will lay me down
Expressing willingness to sacrifice and provide solace.
Like a bridge over troubled waters
Reiterating the commitment to be a source of support.
I will lay me down.
Reaffirming the dedication to lay down and help.
When you're down and out
Describing a difficult situation of being down and out.
When you're on the street
Emphasizing the challenges of life, being on the street.
When evening falls so hard
Highlighting the emotional impact when evening falls hard.
I will comfort you
Promising comfort and support during difficult times.
I'll take your part
Commitment to taking the person's side and offering assistance.
Oh, when darkness comes
Recognizing darkness and pain in the person's life.
And pain is all around
Reiterating the metaphor of a bridge over troubled waters.
Like a bridge over troubled waters
Expressing the intent to provide support and comfort.
I will lay me down
Reaffirming the commitment to lay down and help.
Like a bridge over troubled waters
Emphasizing the willingness to be a source of support.
I will lay me down.
Repeating the dedication to lay down and assist.
Sail on, silver girl
Addressing someone as a 'silver girl' and encouraging them to sail on.
Sail on by
Encouraging continuous progress and moving forward.
Your time has come to shine
Acknowledging the person's time to shine and succeed.
All your dreams are on their way
Noting that the person's dreams are on the way to realization.
See how they shine
Highlighting the brightness and success of the person's dreams.
Oh, if you need a friend
Offering friendship and companionship if needed.
I'm sailing right behind.
Expressing support by sailing right behind, metaphorically being there.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Reiterating the metaphor of being a bridge over troubled water.
I will ease your mind
Promising to ease the person's mind during difficulties.
Like a bridge over troubled waters
Reaffirming the commitment to be a source of comfort.
I will ease your mind
Repeating the promise to ease the person's mind.
Your mind
Specifically mentioning 'your mind' in the reassurance.
I will ease your mind.
Finalizing the commitment to ease the person's mind.
