Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon and Garfunkel)

For this week’s Music Monday, I’ve chosen a song by Simon and Garfunkel called Bridge Over Troubled Water. This song was from their fifth and final studio album and was released on January 26th, 1970. This song also won one Song of the Year AND Record of The Year during the 1971 Grammy Awards.

I haven’t heard this song in a while and I heard a new version of this song while watching one of the episodes on Brothers and Sisters last night and I just knew I had to feature it here for Music Monday. It’s a beautiful song and I hope everyone checking in on my Music Monday post will enjoy it too!

Here’s the clip from Brothers and Sisters Season 3: Episode 17 with Quincy Coleman singing Bridge Over Troubled Water:

 When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
Im on your side. when times get rough
And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When youre down and out,
When youre on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
Ill take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

 

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

    Don’t you just love this song? Anyways, I just love watching Brothers and Sisters.. the moment I knew Sally Field was in it, I knew I had to watch it. I love it.. more than I love Grey’s or Desperate Housewives, actually. :)
