Lyrics:
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all (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
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

[@zhouwu]

Wow! What a story of resilience in the face of pain! Thanks for sharing what must be a very painful experience for you! By your wounds we're healed! Your stillborn's death is not in vain! Your stillborn reminds us that even when we feel like Job, it's still better to go through tough times than come out stillborn. Your stillborn child will probably meet Job one day and be his teacher, saying: "Job, you lost everything and your health, and you envied me? Are you serious? If I had your life, I'd be so happy! To gain! To lose! To be healthy! To be sick! To recover! What a rich tapestry of experiences! What were you complaining about?" I think parents can be disappointed in what appears to be 'lost potential' in a stillborn. But we have to remember that God's thoughts and ways are higher than our own. And He knows how to work all things together for the good of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Your stillborn never had the chance to do anything good or evil. And yet, your stillborn is still loved by you and by all of us. Isn't your stillborn better off than the villains of history? Doesn't this prove to all of us that since all of us are selfish, and yet, we can love a stillborn who died before this stillborn can do anything for us, then our God, who is Love itself can love us completely independently of our daily performance? If your stillborn deserves love, don't you also? Don't we also? Of course! Even if we die today and don't finish all our tasks, do we deserve love? Yes. Even if we die today and our bills haven't been fully paid, do we deserve love? Yes. Did you invest in your stillborn? Yes! You had to be extra careful, you had to eat right, you couldn't do whatever you pleased. Did you get a cent of it back? No! But do you resent it? No! Why? Because you love your child, and you never expected anything from your child, and you just wanted your child to be happy. If anything, you feel bad, because you wanted to give your child more. Listen, if that's how we feel about one stillborn child, how do you think God feels about us living adults? If there is so much value in one stillborn child, just imagine how much value there is in each of us, nonstop! God sees us as assets, people, not liabilities! Remember that!

Simon and Garfunkel was one of my dad’s favorites and we played this song at his funeral. Today is Father’s Day and it’s been very difficult for me so far. My Dad was a Vietnam vet and a very loving man, I thought the least I could do for him today was talk about him here under one of his favorites. The most heartfelt song I’ve ever heard.

Indeed - Larry Knechtel was THE ONLY member of The Wrecking Crew to receive a grammy, for his beautiful yet haunting piano work on this track.

[@zorak1997]

I've been a fan of this song for decades and only recently learned from an interview Simon did that the song was originally written with only the first two verses, inspired by some American gospel Simon had heard. The album's producer told Simon to add on another verse and give it a bigger ending. Simon's wife at the time was upset at discovering her first white hair and Simon wrote the third verse "Sail on silver girl" as a joking reaction to a white hair. I still love the song, but when that third verse starts part of me laughs knowing that this emotional song of support to those in distress was written partially in jest.

I remember my eldest brother telling me when I was a teen in the 90s when I was playing the record that he had to do a school assignment about the lyrics to I am a rock when he was in year 7. He loved it. He would have been in year 7 in 1985. Great teaching 👏

[@losangelesmusicteachers-bu3034]

I'm with you. Definitely among the best songs ever written. It's beautiful poetry AND beautiful music and I love the gospel version Aretha Franklin but this is equally as beautiful. Garfunkel's voice is like an angel and 70% of this recording is just piano and Art Garfunkel, only the climax outro is done with a big production. It almost doesn't need the production. The purity of the voice with the piano is so intimate and expressive it's even more touching!

[@sisterthesister4870]

@@losangelesmusicteachers-bu3034 There's several demo's of this song (and others, of course) floating around on KZbin. The one that's closest to the final version but without the production at the end is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIPHf5h3etWMb80 It's almost better than the album version, it's sort of a simpler version. I'm pretty sure you'll quite like it. A much earlier one is one where Paul is singing it, before he wrote the third and final verse. Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIPHf5h3etWMb80 It's clear that it's a more raw version, but I always love hearing Paul singing falsetto, even if it's just sort of a rough draft of the final song. Although I think if I absolutely *had* to pick one version, it'd be the Central Park one. Though that might not be my final choice.

[@mitchelmike644]

I'm sorry you lost your wife back then. But do you know that God promises a world, in which there will be no more war, disease or death on earth. For example, in Jeremiah 29:11,12 God says ,,For I well know the thoughts that I am thinking toward you, declares Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of calamity,a to give you a future and a hope. And you will call me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." God foretells also that in this time loved ones that whe have lost, will come back to life again here on earth. Revelations 21:3-5 ...,,with that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Jesus the Son of God put it this way:.."John 5:28 ...you shouldn't be surprised, because the time will come when all, who are in the graves will hear Gods voice and will come out. The future look's much better than most of the people expect, because God loves us and what he promises will not fail. If you are interested I send you an very interesting interactive textbook with the theme: Enjoy Life forever" www.jw.org/en/library/books/enjoy-life-forever/ This book is about what God will do in the very near future and how it can give you hope for the future. I wish you all the best for your future and send you my best greetings Michel

Fun fact: "Bridge Over Troubled Water is a gospel phrase which Paul took from a gospel group. It was in a Baptist church hymn. He liked the phrase and he used it." The song, which reached Number 1 in 1970, was written by Paul Simon, but it was Art Garfunkel who sang lead vocal so brilliantly." Verse Matthew 14:22 - 33 "And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God." Love You guys, may you have peace and love, and healing. Stay true to our groom, and our Father, our King, our First Lover whom loved us First. Pray "Through the intercessions of our most Holy Theotokos and of all our saints" And pray to Jesus to protect you, and then you will have a whole army protecting you. God Loves You. You are protected and he will provide for you just surrender yourself to God and surrender all your fears and worries, and pain unto him and He will save you. Amen

Three days after returning from Vietnam having traded his arm, leg and eye for two purple hearts and a bronze star, my uncle sang this song to my 10 year old cousin who was in the hospital being treated for leukemia. He sang it at her funeral a few weeks later. Every time I hear it I can see my uncle standing there at the front of the cathedral singing this song in front of 600 people and a tiny white casket holding the mike in his remaining hand while leaning on a crutch. He who had sacrificed so much had more to give. He told me my cousin was the bravest person he had ever met. That coming from a man who almost died and lost body parts on the battle field while attempting to rescue comrades. He who could have gone home leaving Vietnam behind instead volunteered for not one but two more tours of duty. He who was shot in the leg and then patched up and volunteered for one more mission and lost his arm, eye and later the leg to infection, thought a little girl in a hospital bed was braver than he was. Typical hero type. Typical soldier. To quote him "just doing my job." Typical.

At that time, I remember as it was yesterday, I was listening it with Aida, the only girl I have ever fell in love with. She dedicated this song to me, if in my life I would ever felt lonely, sad or in trouble, she would have been my bridge over trouble water. We were seating on her bed, with a laptop and listening to this song one next to the other. At the end of that very month, I had to leave Malta, without her, and i can swear to all what i care about in life, i left my heart, soul and whats left of me there, still seating on her bed listening to this song. I am sure that i will remember her all my life, every time I listen to this song. It has a place in my heart, as she will always have. Don't end up like I did. Stand up for what you love, or you will regret everyday u spend without that " special person" that makes u want to wake up the next day.With all my love to you. Take Care

+fulvio mastroianni can you go to her? Did she wait? If she feels that way about you then my advice is to move heaven and earth to get to her. Tell her you are coming to her even if you have to crawl over broken glass, you will be there.

+fulvio mastroianni Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice. If you're not in touch, maybe you should try contacting her. You never know unless you try.

Fulvio - your story has me asking the same...can you go to her? This world is small now. Your story is heartbreaking yet beautiful because you found love. I wish you well.

My husband passed away suddenly from a septic infection 6 months ago,he was 59. This has been our song since we started dating , he came into my life when I was very wounded and needed someone I could trust. He gave me this CD on our first Christmas together. It is a song that touches the depths of your soul . I was listening to the song our youngest sent me for our mother/son dance at his upcoming wedding . This song popped up next , a sweet nod from my husband . I hope your life has been blessed, your wife passed feeling your deep love . ❤

I'm so sorry for the passing of your husband. I hope this song continues to bring you comfort and beautiful memories of your time together.

Something says that he is, and will always be, your bridge.

[@enricotoloy]

This song almost always choked me with sheer emotion. I couldn't help but shed a tear especially towards the end.

[@59Rosco]

Excruciatingly Beautiful. In the realm of American pop music, this is a masterpiece. I'd rank only "If You Could Read My Mind" as its equal.

[@TonyEnglandUK]

Americans have one topic of conversation - themselves.

Still mad about 1776, Tony?😋

My 13 year old dog, Jasper, was euthanized today and had lost in his battle against cancer. No emergency vet wanted to help us, no one wanted to see him and save his life. And all we could do was just let him go as he was put down. My dad played this song in memory of Jasper, who has always been there for us through hell and back. And now, my dog can finally be free from this cruel cold-hearted world. Rest In Peace, Jasper, we will always love you. Watch over Chloe and Astro ❤

Sorry for your loss x

[@judyd4280]

I lost my Yorkie Chloe on April 19, 2023! So hard I told her to meet me at the 🌈 rainbow bridge near the pearly gate! Hope she and Jasper are healthy and healed with the Lord! 🙏

[@northernlitez1]

Oh I am SO sorry!! I have walked that hard road more than I care to remember. I said a prayer for Jasper and you. I'm sending huge hugs. The Lord is ALWAYS on call to help. He loves you and Jasper too.

[@dianekimball6812]

I'm very sorry for your loss.
