Elvis Presley with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra: Bridge Over Troubled Water (HD)

Shifting gears a bit to the once King of Rock, Elvis Presley, many have not seen or heard the other side of him...the side that sings songs like Bridge over Troubled Waters, Which I feature here on this evenings Music Interlude...

Elvis has a side who loved gospel and I will post two of those shortly...but right now I'm focused on the Bridge Over Troubled Waters, a song written by Paul SImon... I hope you enjoy it!

LYRICS:

"Bridge Over Troubled Water"
(originally by Simon & Garfunkel)
(from "That's The Way It Is" soundtrack)

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the streets
When evening falls so hard, I will comfort you
I'll take your part when the darkness falls and pain is all around

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, 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 they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Yes, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Written by Paul Simon
