Thumb down and starting to weep

{Bridge Over Troubled Waters} Simon & Garfunkel
GILES
When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
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
---------
Giles comforts Buffy many times over the years, most importantly after The Body.
{Wild World} Cat Stevens
BUFFY
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving, baby I'm grieving
But if you want to leave take good care
---------------
Set post-Standing in OMWF. Duet between Giles and Buffy as he decides to leave.
-----------------------
GILES
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
'Cos I never want to see you sad girl, don't be a bad girl
{One More for Love} Five for Fighting
GILES
Baby there's something on my mind tonight
There's a reason to believe we almost got it right
There's a fire burning in the firelight
As we roll on tonight
There's paper promises and alibis
There is certainly uncertainty in all our eyes
But as long as you are here I'll be all right
As we roll on tonight
So you go out...I'll go on
If there's a doubt...we'll be strong
As we go on singing
One more for love my love
One more for love...
