Stand By Me (Ben E. King cover) Lyrics
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

I actually like John's version better than King's version, because I take this as a more demanding stand by me, the first is much smoother
I believe when lennon covered it he was referring to his realationship with yoko ono and how peopla and his fellow band members did not except her. i may be wrong but that is what i think.
i am band memeber , and my most recent performance was my first performance.it was an important occasion , as it was Honor's Day at school. my band , apparently , was playing STAND BY ME as the final choice piece . after stand by me was played , everybody applauded gratefully , showing that they enjoyed the song STAND BY ME more than the other songs...they applauded so enthusiastically that the great feeling is still felt in my heart...i love this song , and it is one song i will cherish forever...
This song is very good. Aku inget dulu pas nonton filmnya... benar2 film yang tak terlupakan begitu juga dengan soundtracknya.
this is such a great song, i love it, its one of those few songs that will always be a great song you can listen to whenever you feel the need to smile.
i feel the need for someone to stand by me sometimes.... and i always do for other people and i know that lennon was thinking the SAME thing when he wrote it. god how i relate.....
this is a great song. It makes me think of a special girl, who i will stand by, no matter what. I just hope she stands by me.....Katy, I love you. -Alex
aww how cute.
Okay, I have the John Lennon Collection CD, and this song is on it, but he does not sing it. It is a Ben E. King song. John produced it, but does that really make it a John Lennon song? Anyway, it's a really beautiful song.
An amazing cover equal to Ben E. King's and Pennywise's version. All three covers of this deadly song are one of my favourites ever if not my favourite.
