Stand by Me

A long time ago, in the 1980's, I came across this movie known as 'Stand by Me', based on a novel by Stephen King. I have been trying to get my hands on the movie ever since. I heard the song in the movie and the tune and lyrics have not left me since those years.

Wonderful song. Even more wondeful lyrics. I wonder how many a times do these really hold true... but I know that somewhere, someplace, people do love each other so much that they stick together 'no matter what'. I cannot share the song with you all in here, but I can share the lyrics. So here they are -

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darlin', darlin', 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 mountains 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 darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

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
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

- Lyrics from the original song 'Stand by Me' by Ben E. King
