"Medley: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother / Bridge Over Troubled Water" lyrics
Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics
(originally by The Hollies / Simon & Garfunkel)
(Love one another, mankind is a brother)
The road is long with many winding turns
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong (Yes, I am)
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Brother, brother (Brother)
No, he ain't heavy
Although at times the burden may seem
A little too much for each of us to bear
But then, it's an individual choice
As for myself, f've made mine
When you're weary feelin' small
Ooh, when tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
Oh, yes I will, ooh
(I'm on your side) Um, when times get rough
And when friends, friends just can't
They 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
When you're down and out (Sail on silver girl)
When you're on the street (So am I)
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you, oh yes I will, ooh
(I'll take your part)
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain, pain is all, all around ya'
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I'm gonna lay this body down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I'm gonna lay this body down
(For my brother)
Yeah, yeah lay me down
(For my brother)
Yeah, for my brother gonna lay me down
(For my brother)
Yeah, lay me down oh yeah
For my brother gonna lay me down
You don't have to worry
All you got to do is
(Sail on silver girl...)
The road is long with many winding turns
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong (Yes, I am)
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Brother, brother (Brother)
No, he ain't heavy
Although at times the burden may seem
A little too much for each of us to bear
But then, it's an individual choice
As for myself, f've made mine
When you're weary feelin' small
Ooh, when tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
Oh, yes I will, ooh
(I'm on your side) Um, when times get rough
And when friends, friends just can't
They 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
When you're down and out (Sail on silver girl)
When you're on the street (So am I)
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you, oh yes I will, ooh
(I'll take your part)
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain, pain is all, all around ya'
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I'm gonna lay this body down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I'm gonna lay this body down
(For my brother)
Yeah, yeah lay me down
(For my brother)
Yeah, for my brother gonna lay me down
(For my brother)
Yeah, lay me down oh yeah
For my brother gonna lay me down
You don't have to worry
All you got to do is
(Sail on silver girl...)
