Troubled Soul(Bridge Over Troubled Waters)

You are sleepy Given out You have been up for days Just give me a call I’ll help you out To get you through When no one else is ‘round Please let me help you if you love me Just don’t put me down Please let me help you if you love me Just don’t put me down If you feel the need To take that drink dear Knowing what the night brings I will help you through Just lean on me When tremors start And habit feels so bound Please let me help you if you love me Just don’t put me down Please let me help you if you love me Just don’t put me down Sleep on little pearl Sleep on through Dream yourself through the hurt To a better way of life Oh how I weep For what you were then My love is still for you Please let me help you if you love me I will help you through Please let me help you if you love me I will help you through For "Simon and Garfunkle" contest

Charles, although others might have seen humor in this write, I saw a kind-hearted friend offering help to an alcoholic. Truly, if there was ever a bridge needed to cross troubled waters, this is the what such a friend provides. I was genuinely moved by your words and took them seriously. Well done! Love, Carolyn

Congrats on your very deserving win! Your humor in these lyrics inspired me to give the contest a shot (and probably others, as your was one of the first entries). Funny story told in these lyrics.

Superlative!!! Very humorous -- The slow pace matches the seemingly serious subject; (Kind-of like those "Airplane" movies) it would make me laugh to watch & hear it performed to the star's music (with somber faces)! A sure winner. I enjoyed the fact that you did not use any words from the S&G original song, just the pace/rythem and rhyme sceme as directed in the contest. Unless yours is the 2nd entry, it doesn't appear this has been added to the contest yet. There were two entries last night.
