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.
