Stand By Me
Playing For Change
Ben E. King

"This song says, uh: No matter who you are, no matter where you go in life, in some point you go need somebody, to stand by you."

Oh yeah, Oh my darling, stand by me
No matter who you are
No matter where you go in life
You go need somebody, to stand by you.

No matter how much money you got
Or the friends you got
You go need somebody, to stand by you.

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And that moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't, shed one tear
Just as long as you people, call and stand by me

Oh darling, darling
Stand by me, oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand, stand by me,
C'mon Stand by me

When the sky that we look upon
When should tumble and fall
Or the mountains they 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

So darling, darling
Stand by me, Oh, stand by me
Please stand, stand by me,
Stand by me (2x)

So darling, darling
Stand "salanami", Oh stand "salanami"
Oh stand, Oh stand, stand, stand by me,
C'mon stand by me

Stand "salanami", Oh won't you stand "salanami"
Oh stand "salanami", stand by me,
C'mon stand by me

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
I won't be afraid "salanami"
I won't be afraid
Not a long, not a long as you... (yeah)
Stand by me. (yeah yeah)
