Thanks also to ‪@OvidioDeFerrari‬ for helping with the piano arrangement.
As a side note: I didn't mean to stray from the original lyrics. I memorized the song from listening to LeAnne Rimes' version.
Lyrics:
When you're weary, feelin' 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 waters
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Sail on, silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All their dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, when you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will ease your mind
Your mind
I ease your mind

Emily. I’m an 80 year old retired music producer from Sydney Australia, and your beautiful rendition of this classic song moved me to tears. Your piano playing is perfect, and your vocal pitch is spot on. Back in my day I’d have booked you as a session singer without a moment’s hesitation. Keep up the good work. I think you’re very special.

[@EmilyLinge]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@zoheirounes5894]

😢

[@jeannieoster1336]

I agree, I was skeptical before listening. You have a beautiful voice and do S&G proud!

[@ioanniskaragiannis6873]

A masterpiece

[@abegailinocencio4520]

Emily im an ,68 year old am a filipino i believe your voice and beutiful performance

[@garybucher6835]

Over the past 68 years, my mother has so often been my bridge over troubled waters. She died peacefully in her sleep this morning at age 91. Tonight, looking for solace, I came to your YT channel to wrap myself in all the wonderful music here. Thank you, Emily.

[@EmilyLinge]

May she RIP forever ❤️ Take care 🤗

[@rodgarrett32]

So sorry buddy.

[@ingridlinbohm7682]

RIP. Yes our parents can be our bridges over troubled waters. I hope you are alright.

[@davidlordan3106]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@andrewpelletier1199]

I hope you're in a better place these days Gary... & I wish you solace, peace and perhaps a smile now and then as the lighter moments you shared with your parents come to mind. Courage, brother 🫂

[@docholliday5439]

What a beautiful voice and rendition of this song. This song was played 52 years ago at our wedding. My wife passed away last year do due complications after surgery. Bridge Over Troubled Water was "our" song. Listing to the words and your beautiful voice brought both sad and happy tears as I listened. Bless you... 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@rickstadel5285]

What a beautiful, poignant post -- thank you Doc; I share your tears . .

[@billmcgovern5197]

[@michaelbeckwith6177]

I don't think anyone can top Art Garfunkel but your "sailing right behind" FANTASIC!!!!!

[@antoniobriciomoreno7190]

She sings like an angel.

[@drzecelectric4302]

The timbre is mind blowing

[@selvamthiagarajan8152]

she is an angel

[@dublincitytoday]

Very beautifully done. This is not an easy song to cover and you knocked it out of the park. Loved it. Best wishes from Dublin City. 💚☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪

[@EmilyLinge]

Oh wow, thank you so much for listening and leaving a nice comment! I am a fan of your channel. Dublin City has a lot of talent!

[@dublincitytoday]

@@EmilyLinge thank you very much, I'm a fan of your channel too. Keep up the great work, you're doing brilliantly 🙏

[@Jeremyracle-qb9mo]

Thank you for sharing your gift via YT. You bring a moment of transcendence into a world with too much sorrow....

[@lenguy4770]

Emily, you perform every one of the most beautiful and touching songs of the last 5 decades! How have I ever missed you?

[@theivory1]

I was listening at work and started crying. I will finish up later. You're well on your way young lady. Keep playing and singing.

[@bctesla]

[@reygascon8507]

Sail on silver girl... Since ive heard this version of yours i was amazed and become your new fan, so keep it up girl... your time has come to shine and all your dreams are on their way 👏👏👏

[@kenmclemore523]

I must say, you do not shy away from the difficult pieces; this was vocally, emotionally and instrumentally mature and elegant. You are beginning to develop a distinct style of interpretation and sound and it fits you like a glove. Love from America. KDM

[@MadMajor86]

What kind of person leaves a thumb down for such a beautiful performance. Well done, Emily!

[@ScottWorthington]

This may be the best cover of this song that I've ever heard. BRAVO!

[@cvpuga]

Im a 35 year old mechanic with a old soul! Thank you to give this eyes and ears something beaultiful to see and hear! Be playing on this on my next roadtrip for sure

[@ianwattsOfficial]

As a composer of songs and music Emily you stole my heart♥️🥀🥀💐🤠🦘🎶🎶🐨🎼only one thing can I say, when you return it hope it is soon. Tears for this one, your special and accept the comments, we are all right about you.👌🌹

[@ricknordin8453]

Young Lady, you are again incredible. Your voice is magical, like a magic carpet. An escape from the woes of today. Please, please don't stop singing and I promise I won't stop listening. ❤❤❤

[@nandesjl]

Okay, I confess. I actually cried; tears fell from my eyes when I heard Emily singing 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother'. Well, I even cry when I hear her sing 'Rocky'! I think it should be prohibited by law to be so full of tenderness like that. Making a man my age cry should be against the law!

[@directapprec]

came back to this after a few years.....wow! her voice really suits the melody and lyric

[@brianruwoldt7422]

My late Mother's favorite song. Thank you.

[@richardjordan1125]

Thank you, Emily, for sharing your incredible gift and wonderful voice with us.

[@TRamone01]

Difficult song to sing. Spot on. Simon and Garfunkel would be impressed.

[@alanericksen7102]

You're music often does anything but dry my eyes, but always with at least some joy.

[@jimdwright6541]

Your vocal maturity is that of someone older. God has blessed you with a great talent and sound

[@renehaas377]

This voice you will never forget, and that is the most important 🌞

[@grahampitt4104]

A young lady with the world at her feet.

[@BearBottoms]

My all-time favorite song ever, though the original two singers have been replaced - by you.

[@danielsteele7544]

How beutiful,i just loved it,keep singing little sister.

[@houstonlake6271]

Could possibly be the greatest song ever written, and if ever there was a song that seems to have been given straight from a higher power this would be one. This is a beautiful rendition, like any great artist Emily is making the music seem fresh again. Last night I listened to her version of "Sometimes When We Touch", a song I've never been a huge fan of, but now realize is practically a musical masterpiece with some incredibly intelligent and deeply personal lyrics, highly recommended.

[@olgaalvarez7065]

GREAT RENDITION OF A AGELESS SONG!!!!

[@newtonjackson652]

I'm from Jamaica. First time hearing you. Heard also Elvis version. You are super great, talented, magnificent beautiful young lady. Hope you rise to be a super star. Peace and Love.

[@gianinni2002]

Best song of 1970! Beautiful version of Simon and Garfunkel’s Classic. I enjoyed every moment of Emily’s performance!

[@FlyByPC]

Wow! I think Simon and Garfunkel would be impressed.

[@EmilyLinge]

I think it would take a lot to impress them as so many great artists have covered their brilliant song, but thanks! I appreciate your compliment!

[@clint6872]

Anyone else here because of the new release? :) I had to come back and listen to this gem again, fascinating to hear the difference in your voice Emily, this is like a time capsule. Both are so beautiful but at 16 your voice is just so rich with gorgeous depth to it. I am glad to have them both, the dress and necklace was a fantastic idea. If Ron hadn't pointed it out I don't know how long it would have taken for me to clue in :) 👏👏👏❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀

[@javierdianezmillan1044]

Aquí nos vemos Clint 😊

[@reylmsimplengbuhay3866]

Very clear and decisive voice... I admire you so much...be great great great and famous Emily...

[@ym61]

Young lady, you’ve GOT it. There’s a genuine singer songwriter quality about you that’s rare these days. I mean that with the highest praise. You are covering some of the greatest music in history so you were properly raised 😀Keep up the great work and keep developing your God given talent. Love your voice and well trained piano playing.

[@rudolfruweruwe3516]

Hi Emily, Du bist nicht nur Klasse, Du bist genial. Freu mich über Deine Jugend. Denke da kommt noch Einiges in der Zukunft

[@DeansMayhem]

What a gift God has given you.

[@EmilyLinge]

Thanks for listening

[@brandyhouston2105]

Surely, sincerely, hope Mr. Simon and Mr . Garfunkel hear this suburb rendition! Very, very, good. 'Sail on silver girl'..😎😊

What more can I say. Emily has so much talent it's unreal. What a fantastic job she does on this S & G classic.

[@PaulSmith-bb7lv]

Whenever I need to relax, this young lady with her amazing musical skills always does it for me. There is hope for the world. Thank you, Emily.

[@stevepower1764]

What can I say? You've just made this usually cynical 47 year old man well up with tears. Beautiful performance Emily. I've always had a soft spot for this song and I'm a fan of lots of different genres of music from old blues , soul and jazz to reggae to folk to heavy metal and punk and all manner of other stuff in between. You have an amazing talent, especially for your age. I can see a bright future for you in music. This is by no means an easy song for anyone else to do it real justice, but you've certainly managed to capture the minimal, yet powerful essence of it wonderfully. Well done!

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you! I appreciate your comment!

[@jerryeberts]

A message from the future to Emily of this video. Your voice in two years has matured a lot. Keep on chugging along. Great dress, btw. Cheers!

[@kenmclemore523]

Thanks for the heart. Love from America. KDM

[@hagei406]

Once again, i must say , emily does not just sing words like many others..she´s expressing the words as they where ment.. so brilliant and nicely done

[@Paul--88]

Wow Emily.😢 I'm a S&G fan and this is a great song. Wow that was beautiful. Thank you Emily!!

[@johnfoulkrod4835]

Well done. Brings back a wealth of memories, many beautiful and some not so much, but all part of my past I do not wish to forget. Thank you.

[@georgetaylor3777]

Emily, this "American Tune" was released on January 26, 1970 and a lot of us were worried about our America as she was being battered by internal and external forces and we questioned, would she be strong enough withstand the storm. Lucky for us, this experiment in Democracy did hold up and quickly moved to a safe harbor. For me, "Bridge over Troubled Water" has much more meaning today regarding our beloved constitution, Bill of Rights and the American way where anyone can strive to reach their dreams. I hope, as in 1970, the American people will stay united, stay strong and withstand the storm in these trying times. My hope is America and 330 Americans will in fact once again reach safe harbor. I enjoy your singing and your selection of songs, stay well.

[@robertwiley3171]

Emily Linge is a name I'll watch for. Beautiful Emily and Thanks.

[@redchandler]

Beautiful Emily! That's such a great song and you did another top notch vocal and piano!

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you!

[@tagnut1952]

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. It was early February of 1970, just a couple months before I graduated from high school. It was like our theme song of the times. And as it turned out, it was the #1 song of 1970. Art would be proud of you Emily. Next to his version, you're a close second. You have a God given talent. What a beautiful voice He gave you. You are truly Blessed.

[@vincenthey4736]

Girl with huge Future. Sings the Classics beautifully across all genres.

Emily bravissima. Grazie mille per la visione e ascolto di questo bellissimo video. Un Cordiale Saluto dall'italia.

[@valdirgianfratti3654]

Oh my God, how much feeling!!! You are rewriting the way to interpret !!! Difficult music and lyrics, especially on the piano... But you perform with mastery and purity... Beautiful voice... Goose pimples !!! tears in my eyes !!!

[@davids8048]

Emily, I love that song and you did an outstanding job singing it and playing the piano. Just beautiful.

[@percival74898]

You hear every single word she sings. Beautiful voice and excellent accompaniment. 👌

[@12clr12]

This is my all time favorite you tube music video, nothing else comes close. Have you ever thought of doing the Jim Croce tune "Time in a bottle"? or maybe Gordon Lightfoots "If you could read my mind" ? They're both great songs , by great singer song writers from the early 70's.I think you would do a great job with both these songs!Another great song from the 70's you might want to look into is "Annies song" by John Denver! I believe These songs would fit your style PERFECTLY! Keep up the great work , but most of all have fun doing it!

[@EmilyLinge]

Thanks for the song suggestions! I will check them out.

[@dlschweppe]

27 dislikes? Seriously? Must have been people in troubled water.... Playing and singing at the same time, especially with NO sheet music in front of you, is a gift. Thank you, KZbin, for making this video a suggestion. And thank you, Emily. I look forward to more songs. Bottom line, exceptional.

[@EmilyLinge]

Thanks for listening! It's impossible to please everyone.

[@andysmith2417]

Emily ,you have such a beautiful voice,every cover I have seen you do is of the highest quality....well done,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💖💖💖💖💖

[@EmilyLinge]

Thank you! 😊

[@hatlabo]

Your singing voice is very impressive because it has power hidden in its gentleness. Why is it so ingrained in my heart no matter what part I hear? The lustrous and stretchy singing will be further refined in the future.

[@TheopolisQSmith]

If you are this good now I cannot even imagine what the future will bring
