Answers: Do the lyrics reflect any meaning in you.x

yes very much so b we chose it at the funeral of our close relative last year (,my mother and me that is ), if you really listen to the words and think about what they really mean

When your weary ,feeling small when tears are in your eyes, i'll 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.........

when your 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.........



sail on silver 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

like a bridge over troubled waters they will lay me down ..............

to me its about true friendship and love being there for one another when noone else can be ,showing support through the good times and the bad the last line is even more poignant because i know that they are

now i'm in tears x

the song means alot to me barb and always will Thankyou xxx Report It

  • Yes they do, just like Supertramp's Hide In Your Shell.

    i have loved the song since a kid even though it is played at most funerals, its just a beautiful piece of music

    They had an effect on Paul Simon and led up to the split of Simon and Garfunkel. He was sitting in the wings watching Art perform it and get huge applause and thought "wait a minute, I wrote that....".

    When the song originally came it, it was overplayed on the radio. After years have gone by its like I have rediscovered it all over again. I started listening to a Simon and Garfunkel greatest hits CD several years ago and now the song is one of my favorites.

    Brings back memories of the dreams I had as a little boy, wondering what america was like, that great wonder-land, where my father came from .. maybe when I was big, I would grow up and go and live out there one day!

    Such dreams for a little Italian/English boy, looking at pictures of a place he could never understand! .. Now, at 37, I live in Arkansas! :o)

    .

    love that song Sparkles!

    It still makes me cringe. It's one of the most emotionally over the top songs ever written.

    Its a beautiful song.
    Many years ago I was going through a very bad time, my mum (who has since died) put this on and said to me that she couldnt find the words to ease my pain but that this song said it all.
    Everytime I hear it, I think of her.

    It's an old song but a very beautiful one B and there always is a 'bridge over troubled water' - it is just a question of looking for it. x

    Yes the oldies are the best.

    They remind me of some good times, a long while ago,.

    It has a very meaning reflection on me, as I think about it when I think about my adoptive father.

    a real classic.

    I love Simon and Garfunkel, and for you and those others who do also, I have found the Lyirics and a Youtube recorded in 2003 and sourced them.

    I was stationed in Germany when the record got to the top of Billboard Hot 100 on Feb 28th 1970 a few months after my son Adrian was born there in the RAF hospital at Wegberg, my wife had a difficult time and the song reminds me of that time.

    I prefer Johnny Cash's version.

    I love the lyrics, it's a lovely song to drift off to sleep to. It reminds me of when I was little, like 5 or 6. I especially love The Jackson 5 version =] x

    Yeah...it brings back memories of watching my Dad cry at his Mums funeral.....that song was played.....

    It is a very meaning full song one I do love and Bex that is so nice. x

    Yeah fooking abject misery. x
